GXPD 06 - Moving Code in DespoolPage to GXSetUpPageImageData (1-May-95)

Q After reading the information on GXSetupPageImageData, I began to wonder whether some code I currently have in DespoolPage needs to be moved over to this message. My code handles horizontal and vertical flipping, if needed. I presume that this is the sort of thing that should be moved, but I wanted to check this out first. What happens in the following example?

A user wants to print a 2-page document on one sheet of paper using the N-Up extension. The two logical pages have different sets of flipping options, because each page has its own custom format. Presumably, these two logical pages are merged into one physical page using GXSetupPageImageData. Which set of flipping options is used (or am I confused about when logical pages are turned into one physical page)?

A You're correct. You should move the code you have in DespoolPage to GXSetupPageImageData. Regarding your example, it sounds as though you're confusing logical pages, because the extension would break your print job into two pages.
