+/**
+ * <code>MultiDoc</code> defines the interface for objects providing multiple
+ * documents for use in a print job.
+ * <p>
+ * Implementations of this interface are used to pass multiple documents, to be
+ * printed as one print job, to the <code>MultiDocPrintJob</code> instance.
+ * </p><p>
+ * There exists no implementation of this interface in the Java Print Service
+ * API. Implementors may assume the following usage in print jobs and the needed
+ * behaviour for implementations: The print job fetches the single documents via
+ * iteration by consecutive calls of the {@link #getDoc()} method to obtain the
+ * current document follwing calls of the {@link #next()} method to get the next
+ * multidoc object for the next <code>getDoc()</code> method call (if returned
+ * multidoc object is not <code>null</code>). The print service will fetch the
+ * document object and then retrieve the print data from the document before it
+ * proceeds with the next call for the next MultiDoc object in the sequence.
+ * </p><p>
+ * Implementations of this interface have to be multiple thread-safe.
+ * </p>
