Documentation
Definition
This attribute of a form page determines the print mode from this page. The print mode specifies whether printing is single-sided (SIMPLEX), double-sided with long-edge binding (DUPLEX), or double-sided with short-edge binding (TUMBLE DUPLEX). This attribute is only suitable if page printers are used, which process individual sheets of paper as opposed to line printers, which process continuous paper. Furthermore, only special line printers can print paper on both sides.
The individual attribute values have the following effect:
SIMPLEX:
The current print mode is set to SIMPLEX (single-sided print) and a new page is started. A form page defined with SIMPLEX is always printed on the front of the page, never on the back of the page.
DUPLEX:
The current print mode is set to DUPLEX (double-sided print, long-edge binding) and a new page is started. A form page defined with DUPLEX is always printed on the front of the page, never on the back of the page. If the next form page contains the attribute value DEFAULT, it is output on the back of the page.
TUMBLE DUPLEX:
The current print mode is set to TUMBLE DUPLEX (double-sided print, short-edge binding) and a new page is started. A form page defined with TUMBLE DUPLEX is always printed on the front of the page, never on the back. If the next form page contains the attribute value DEFAULT, it is output on the back of the page, however "upside down" (that is rotated 180 degrees).
DEFAULT:
The current print mode is not changed. If SIMPLEX was set as the current print mode, a new page is started and the front of the page printed. If DUPLEX or TUMBLE DUPLEX was set, the front or back of the page is printed. If the attribute has the value DEFAULT on all form pages, printing is single-sided.
Note: Not all printer types provided by SAP can convert this attribute equally, there are restrictions for certain printer types.
