Class JobAttributes

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--java.awt.JobAttributes

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable

public final class JobAttributes

extends Object

implements Cloneable

A set of attributes which control a print job.

Instances of this class control the number of copies, default selection, destination, print dialog, file and printer names, page ranges, multiple document handling (including collation), and multi-page imposition (such as duplex) of every print job which uses the instance. Attribute names are compliant with the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) 1.1 where possible. Attribute values are partially compliant where possible.

To use a method which takes an inner class type, pass a reference to one of the constant fields of the inner class. Client code cannot create new instances of the inner class types because none of those classes has a public constructor. For example, to set the print dialog type to the cross-platform, pure Java print dialog, use the following code:

 import java.awt.JobAttributes;

 public class PureJavaPrintDialogExample {
     public void setPureJavaPrintDialog(JobAttributes jobAttributes) {
         jobAttributes.setDialog(JobAttributes.DialogType.COMMON);
     }
 }
 

Every IPP attribute which supports an attributeName-default value has a corresponding setattributeNameToDefault method. Default value fields are not provided.

Parameters:

printer - the possibly null printer name.

getSides

public JobAttributes.SidesType getSides()

Returns how consecutive pages should be imposed upon the sides of the print medium for jobs using these attributes. SidesType.ONE_SIDED imposes each consecutive page upon the same side of consecutive media sheets. This imposition is sometimes called simplex. SidesType.TWO_SIDED_LONG_EDGE imposes each consecutive pair of pages upon front and back sides of consecutive media sheets, such that the orientation of each pair of pages on the medium would be correct for the reader as if for binding on the long edge. This imposition is sometimes called duplex. SidesType.TWO_SIDED_SHORT_EDGE imposes each consecutive pair of pages upon front and back sides of consecutive media sheets, such that the orientation of each pair of pages on the medium would be correct for the reader as if for binding on the short edge. This imposition is sometimes called tumble. This attribute is updated to the value chosen by the user.

Returns:

SidesType.ONE_SIDED, SidesType.TWO_SIDED_LONG_EDGE, or SidesType.TWO_SIDED_SHORT_EDGE.

setSides

public void setSides(JobAttributes.SidesType sides)

Specifies how consecutive pages should be imposed upon the sides of the print medium for jobs using these attributes. SidesType.ONE_SIDED imposes each consecutive page upon the same side of consecutive media sheets. This imposition is sometimes called simplex. SidesType.TWO_SIDED_LONG_EDGE imposes each consecutive pair of pages upon front and back sides of consecutive media sheets, such that the orientation of each pair of pages on the medium would be correct for the reader as if for binding on the long edge. This imposition is sometimes called duplex. SidesType.TWO_SIDED_SHORT_EDGE imposes each consecutive pair of pages upon front and back sides of consecutive media sheets, such that the orientation of each pair of pages on the medium would be correct for the reader as if for binding on the short edge. This imposition is sometimes called tumble. Not specifying this attribute is equivalent to specifying SidesType.ONE_SIDED.

getToPage

public int getToPage()

Returns, for jobs using these attributes, the last page (inclusive) to be printed, if a range of pages is to be printed. This attribute is updated to the value chosen by the user. An application should ignore this attribute on output, unless the return value of the getDefaultSelection method is DefaultSelectionType.RANGE. An application should honor the return value of getPageRanges over the return value of this method, if possible.
