sheetConfig
Sheet configuration settings are the Master Page, Media and Duplex printing options of
first/middle/last/single or all sheets in a Print section. The sheetConfig object holds these
options and can be used to set (or rather, override) them via a Control Script (see "Control
Scripts" on page913 and "Control Script API" on page1405). This is especially useful when
you need identical sections with different sheet configuration settings.
The sheetConfig object can be retrieved via the section object (see "section" on page1454);
