BINDING=DEFAULTEDGE | LONGEDGE | SHORTEDGE

Details

BINDING controls how the page is flipped when DUPLEX is in effect. It does not change the orientation of the graph. DEFAULTEDGE refers to the hardware's factory-default setting. LONGEDGE and SHORTEDGE refer to the paper's long and short edges.

For PostScript printers, a PPD file must also be specified, using the PPDFILE= option. The PPD file contains the command that SAS/GRAPH needs to request the appropriate binding method on the printer being used. If a PPD file is not specified, BINDING= is ignored because SAS/GRAPH will lack the command needed to request the binding method.
