public final class PrinterData extends DeviceData
Instances of this class are descriptions of a print job in terms of the printer, and the scope and type of printing that is desired. For example, the number of pages and copies can be specified, as well as whether or not the print job should go to a file.Application code does not need to explicitly release the resources managed by each instance when those instances are no longer required, and thus no
dispose()
method is provided.

Field Detail

driver
public String driver
the printer driver On Windows systems, this is the name of the driver (often "winspool"). On Mac OSX, this is the destination type ("Printer", "Fax", "File", or "Preview"). On X/Window systems, this is the name of a display connection to the Xprt server (the default is ":1"). On GTK+, this is the backend type name (eg. GtkPrintBackendCups).
-
name
public String name
the name of the printer On Windows systems, this is the name of the 'device'. On Mac OSX, X/Window systems, and GTK+, this is the printer's 'name'.
-
scope
public int scope
the scope of the print job, expressed as one of the following values:ALL_PAGES
- Print all pages in the current document
PAGE_RANGE
- Print the range of pages specified by startPage and endPage
SELECTION
- Print the current selection
-
startPage
public int startPage
the start page of a page range, used when scope is PAGE_RANGE. This value can be from 1 to the maximum number of pages for the platform.
-
endPage
public int endPage
the end page of a page range, used when scope is PAGE_RANGE. This value can be from 1 to the maximum number of pages for the platform.
-
printToFile
public boolean printToFile
whether or not the print job should go to a file
-
fileName
public String fileName
the name of the file to print to if printToFile is true. Note that this field is ignored if printToFile is false.
-
copyCount
public int copyCount
the number of copies to print. Note that this field may be controlled by the printer driver In other words, the printer itself may be capable of printing multiple copies, and if so, the value of this field will always be 1.
-
collate
public boolean collate
whether or not the printer should collate the printed paper Note that this field may be controlled by the printer driver. In other words, the printer itself may be capable of doing the collation, and if so, the value of this field will always be false.
-
orientation
public int orientation
The orientation of the paper, which can be either PORTRAIT or LANDSCAPE.- Since:
- 3.5
-
duplex
public int duplex
Single-sided or double-sided printing, expressed as one of the following values:SWT.DEFAULT
- the default duplex value for the printer
DUPLEX_NONE
- single-sided printing
DUPLEX_LONG_EDGE
- double-sided printing as if bound on the long edge
DUPLEX_SHORT_EDGE
- double-sided printing as if bound on the short edge
The default value is
SWT.DEFAULT
, meaning do not set a value; use the printer's default duplex setting. A printer's default value is typically single-sided, however it can default to double-sided in order to save paper.- Since:
- 3.7
-

- Since:
- 3.7
- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
-
DUPLEX_SHORT_EDGE
public static final int DUPLEX_SHORT_EDGE
duplex
field value indicating double-sided printing for binding on the short edge.For portrait orientation, the short edge is horizontal. For landscape orientation, the short edge is vertical.
This is also known as duplex tumble printing.
