/**
 * Class JobMediaSheets is an integer valued printing attribute class that 
 * specifies the total number of media sheets to be produced for this job. 
 * <P>
 * The JobMediaSheets attribute describes the size of the job. This attribute is 
 * not intended to be a counter; it is intended to be useful routing and 
 * scheduling information if known. The printer may try to compute the 
 * JobMediaSheets attribute's value if it is not supplied in the Print Request. 
 * Even if the client does supply a value for the JobMediaSheets attribute in 
 * the Print Request, the printer may choose to change the value if the printer 
 * is able to compute a value which is more accurate than the client supplied 
 * value. The printer may be able to determine the correct value for the 
 * JobMediaSheets attribute either right at job submission time or at any later 
 * point in time. 
 * <P>
 * Unlike the {@link JobKOctets JobKOctets} and {@link JobImpressions 
 * JobImpressions} attributes, the JobMediaSheets value must include the 
 * multiplicative factors contributed by the number of copies specified by the 
 * {@link Copies Copies} attribute and a "number of copies" instruction embedded 
 * in the document data, if any. This difference allows the system administrator 
 * to control the lower and upper bounds of both (1) the size of the document(s) 
 * with {@link JobKOctetsSupported JobKOctetsSupported} and {@link 
 * JobImpressionsSupported JobImpressionsSupported} and (2) the size of the job 
 * with {@link JobMediaSheetsSupported JobMediaSheetsSupported}. 
 * <P>
 * <B>IPP Compatibility:</B> The integer value gives the IPP integer value. The 
 * category name returned by <CODE>getName()</CODE> gives the IPP attribute 
 * name. 
 * <P>
