Print driver: switching evens and odds

It’s time to check how the mode of printing even and odd pages works.

To enable this mode, let’s set the mode variable to the 'alternate' mode.

To print even pages instead of odd ones, let’s change the start page from the first one to the second one.

JavaScript
var mode = 'reverse'; // Printing driver mode var pageNumber = 5; // Copied page number var copyCount = 7; // Number of copies var totalPages = 6; // Pages in the document var startPage = 1; // Starting page if (mode === 'pageCopy') { for (var copies = 1; copies <= copyCount; copies++) { muffin.print(pageNumber); } } if (mode === 'document') { for (var page = 1; page <= totalPages; page++) { muffin.print(page); } } if (mode === 'reverse') { for (var reversePage = totalPages; reversePage >= 1; reversePage--) { muffin.print(reversePage); } } if (mode === 'alternate') { for (var alternatePage = startPage; alternatePage <= totalPages; alternatePage += 2) { muffin.print(alternatePage); } }

Now let’s use the mode added in the previous task.

  1. Change the value of the mode variable to 'alternate'.
  2. To print even pages, change the value of the startPage variable to 2.
