Page Descriptions

Page descriptions, each of which describes a virtual page, follow the style definitions. A maximum of four virtual pages can be specified for a single side of the physical page. Most complex page formats must have virtual pages explicitly defined for duplex printing.

The page order, the page location, or the number of pages can change on the duplex side. If the duplex side needs to be described differently, a maximum of eight virtual pages can be described.

For page order, you can think of the physical pages as moving through the print engine in a given order depending on the print view, the print range, and the specified Include Blank Pages flag. For example, printing the daily view for four days normally moves four pages, ordered 1, 2, 3, and 4, through the print engine. For a given paper format, the page description is flexible enough to print pages 2 and 3 on the first side of the page, and 1 and 4 on the duplex side of the page.

Each page description has the following format:

PAGE 300, 500
PAGEINFO 1, 1, 0
INVERT 0, 0

The following example describes a number of different formats. For a normal page, it is only necessary to describe a single page, as follows:

PAGE 0, 0
PAGEINFO 1, 1, 0
INVERT 0, 0

Note  It is not necessary to explicitly define the page in duplex mode.
