I'd like to challenge some of Phil@Rice's message regarding Imagen 8/300's.
Regarding page reversal, I always thought it would be a much better idea
for the printer to reverse as many pages as it has room for, rather than
ignoring pagereversal completely.  In a 100 page job, I'd rather rearrange
2 or 3 sets of properly ordered pages rather than have to manually reverse
all 100 pages.

Another annoying feature regarding pagereversal/pagecollation is that
collation seems to automatically imply reversal.  If you know that the
host software is going to send the document in last-page-first order,
it would be nice if you could collate multiple copies WITHOUT
causing page reversal to happen.

Turning to the "it-would-be-nice-if" department, we could save A LOT of
paper if we could suppress job header pages in an intelligent fashion.  I
don't want users to be able to be able to play with the JobHeader:OFF
parameter at the time they queue the print job, even if they swear they're
going to walk right over to the printer immediately.  It would be useful,
however, if a command could be issued AT the 8/300 console which would
apply to the job in progress, telling it not to print the header page
because I'm going to walk away and leave it on the tray anyway!
