<MCC>
The <MCC> tag’s function varies slightly depending upon whether the Mup tag group is used in an Input tag group or in an Output tag group.
The Input group <DOCUMENT> and <PAGE> tags often use carriage controls to determine the pages and documents in an input. In both AFP and DJDE line data, different carriage controls can be used to control left and right logical pages.
In an Input tag group, the <MCC> tag changes the carriage control characters for other multiple-up logical pages to match those of the base page. The base page is the upper-left logical page (row 1, column 1). This change occurs before pages are identified, therefore you only have to identify pages based on the base page.
In an Output tag group, the <MCC> tag changes the carriage control characters from those for the base page to those for the multiple-up logical page.
In either case, you can use one <MCC> tag for each carriage control you want to change.
You can only use <MCC> if you set the <MPF> pf parameter to YES or MAPPED and the <MGRID> cc parameter is either CC or TRC.
