In a job, if this value is LT, and in PDL too the data is for LT paper size, this will result in a
scaled booklet on Letter paper. In a job, if this value is A3, and in PDL the data is for A4 paper
size, this will result in a tiled booklet on A3 paper.
When the Booklet Mode options is selected, the paper size is automatically set to the same size
as for Booklet Mode. This function is only available for A3, A4, B4, Letter and Ledger paper
