8.2 Page Device Options
=======================

Page device is a PostScript level 2 feature that offers an uniform
interface to control the printer's output device.  a2ps protects all
page device options inside an if block so they have no effect in level 1
interpreters.  Although all level 2 interpreters support page device,
they do not have to support all page device options.  For example some
printers can print in duplex mode and some can not.  Refer to the
documentation of your printer for supported options.

   Here are some usable page device options which can be selected with
the '-S' option ('--setpagedevice').  For a complete listing, see
'PostScript Language Reference Manual' (section 4.11 Device Setup in the
second edition, or section 6, Device Control in the third edition).

'Collate BOOLEAN'
     how output is organized when printing multiple copies

'Duplex BOOLEAN'
     duplex (two side) printing

'ManualFeed BOOLEAN'
     manual feed paper tray

'OutputFaceUp BOOLEAN'
     print output 'face up' or 'face down'

'Tumble BOOLEAN'
     how opposite sides are positioned in duplex printing
