Usage Guidelines
- You can use this attribute to restrict jobs sent to this actual destination according to the capacity of the output device or your policy for output device use.
- InfoPrint Manager compares the document attribute sides to this attribute for scheduling.
- The InfoPrint Manager server can automatically set the value for sides-supported for an SNMP printer only if you do not explicitly set the attribute when creating or modifying the actual destination or if you reset the attribute to the InfoPrint Manager default.
- For CUPS DSS destinations, the ability to print on two sides of the media depends on the printer driver file (PPD) associated with the printer-model.
