Hi Mike,
Answers to your questions below. If we are good with my resolutions, I will resend the request in an approvable state.

No problem - let's change it to this:
+---------+------------------+-------------------+
| KEYWORD | LONG EDGE ORIGIN | SHORT EDGE ORIGIN |
+---------+------------------+-------------------+
| normal | top-left | top-left |
| rotated | bottom-right | top-left |
| flipped | bottom-left | top-right |
+---------+------------------+-------------------+

Nope, this was my mistake. This "pclm-raster-back-side" attribute is a Printer Description attribute.

That's fine, we can remove that line from the registration.

Will resolve as for palm-source-resolution.

No, height as defined in palm-strip-height-supported - preferred strip height = page height / pclm-strip-height-preferred

A strip height of 1 also produces the same result.

As we discussed, this line can be removed from the registration.
