<cycle> Defines where to position the background(s) on the document. Use the range to
specify common page positions.
<cardinal> | <*> | <even> | <odd> | <expression>
<cardinal>
(non-negative integer)
Apply background to the
n th unit (page or sheet) of the document. For example,
“1” means the first unit and “3” means the third unit.
<*>
Apply background to every unit (page or sheet) of the document. For example,
pages 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.
<even>
Apply background to even units (page or sheet) of the document. For example,
pages 2, 4, 6, and so on until the document ends or a newlayout on command in
a subsequent subjob is encountered.
<odd>
Apply background to odd units (page or sheet) of the document. For example, 1,
3, 5, 7, and so on until the document ends or a newlayout on command in a sub-
sequent subjob is encountered.
<expression>
Apply background to any units (page or sheet) defined by evaluating an algorith-
mic expression. See “Background Command <Cycle> Algorithm” on page 62” for
details.
<unit>
Defines whether the background should be mapped onto the physical sheet or
onto the logical page spot prior to processing the images for the print job.
<sheet> | <page>
<sheet> (background to a sheet face) - use formats specified by image file. The
background is positioned and sized according to the physical page size. A sheet
is a physical page.
For example, if sheet is specified in an n-up (pagegrid) document, the back-
ground is positioned across the grids (or squares), it isn’t scaled or clipped to fit
inside any particular grid. The cycle counts the faces of sheets of paper (front
face, back face, and so on).
<page> (background to a logical page) - use formats specified by job. The back-
ground is formatted according to specifications in the data stream. A page is log-
ical. A sheet can contain more than one logical page.
For example, if page is specified in an n-up (pagegrid) document, the back-
ground is scaled or clipped to fit inside the specified square(s) of the grid. The
cycle counts across the squares of the grid.
