PrinterResolution

Class Overview

Class PrinterResolution is a printing attribute class that specifies an exact resolution supported by a printer or to be used for a print job. This attribute assumes that printers have a small set of device resolutions at which they can operate rather than a continuum.

PrinterResolution is used in multiple ways:

1. When a client searches looking for a printer that supports the client's desired resolution exactly (no more, no less), the client specifies an instance of class PrinterResolution indicating the exact resolution the client wants. Only printers supporting that exact resolution will match the search.

2. When a client needs to print a job using the client's desired resolution exactly (no more, no less), the client specifies an instance of class PrinterResolution as an attribute of the Print Job. This will fail if the Print Job doesn't support that exact resolution, and Fidelity is set to true.

If a client wants to locate a printer supporting a resolution greater than some required minimum, then it may be necessary to exclude this attribute from a lookup request and to directly query the set of supported resolutions, and specify the one that most closely meets the client's requirements. In some cases this may be more simply achieved by specifying a PrintQuality attribute which often controls resolution.

IPP Compatibility: The information needed to construct an IPP "printer-resolution" attribute can be obtained by calling methods on the PrinterResolution object. The category name returned by getName() gives the IPP attribute name.

[Expand] Inherited Methods
From class javax.print.attribute.ResolutionSyntax boolean equals(Object object) Returns whether this resolution attribute is equivalent to the passed in object. int getCrossFeedResolution(int units) Returns this resolution attribute's cross feed direction resolution in the given units. int getCrossFeedResolutionDphi() Returns this resolution attribute's cross feed direction resolution in units of dphi. int getFeedResolution(int units) Returns this resolution attribute's feed direction resolution in the given units. int getFeedResolutionDphi() Returns this resolution attribute's feed direction resolution in units of dphi. int[] getResolution(int units) Get this resolution attribute's resolution values in the given units. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for this resolution attribute. boolean lessThanOrEquals(ResolutionSyntax other) Determine whether this resolution attribute's value is less than or equal to the given resolution attribute's value. String toString(int units, String unitsName) Returns a string version of this resolution attribute in the given units. String toString() Returns a string version of this resolution attribute.
From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object. final void wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long timeout) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.
From interface javax.print.attribute.Attribute abstract Class<? extends Attribute> getCategory() Get the printing attribute class which is to be used as the "category" for this printing attribute value when it is added to an attribute set. abstract String getName() Get the name of the category of which this attribute value is an instance.
