Hi Mike,
You have in these minutes this statement about section 5.2.6 "folding (1setOf collection)":
⁃ Add something to talk about folding applying to the set, except as noted (e.g. poster fold is normally done to individual sheets)
I'm not sure what to do about this because the . Are you saying that the size of the Set or how many Media Sheets should be folded may depend on the type of the fold? So if the Client sends a 4 page document and supplies "finishing" = 'fold-poster', the Printer might fold every Media Sheet, but if the Client instead supplies "finishing" = 'fold-half' the Printer may instead fold all 4 pages together?
Maybe we need to add a "folding-when"?
So the issue here is that some kinds of folds can be applied per-sheet or per-set, but some can *only* be applied per set (fold-double-gate, fold-parallel), others can *only* be applied per sheet (fold-half-z, fold-poster), and the rest can be applied either way depending on the amount of folding done and output bin/tray.
Look at figure 1's fold images to get a visual sense of this - folds along both axis need to be applied per-sheet, while overlapping folds need to be applied per-set. So this is definitely implementation/process-specific, but we want folding to only express the intent.
As you know well, we have two needs: describing a folding operation to a Client, and describing a custom folding operation to the Printer.
In both cases, a “folding-when” would be useful. The Client needs to know the range of options it could use (1 or more than 1 option). And if there is the possibility of a choice, the Client needs a member to convey that choice to the Printer.
Expressing this via the current finishings-col is going to be a little bit awkward because folding is expressed as an ordered sequence of folding collections. Maybe a”folding-when” as a member of the first “folding” collection? Or as a separate peer to “folding”?
