Class NumberUp

java.lang.Object
  extended by javax.print.attribute.IntegerSyntax
      extended by javax.print.attribute.standard.NumberUp
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable, Attribute, DocAttribute, PrintJobAttribute, PrintRequestAttribute

public final class NumberUp
extends IntegerSyntax
implements DocAttribute, PrintRequestAttribute, PrintJobAttribute

Class NumberUp is an integer valued printing attribute class that specifies the number of print-stream pages to impose upon a single side of an instance of a selected medium. That is, if the NumberUp value is n, the printer must place n print-stream pages on a single side of an instance of the selected medium. To accomplish this, the printer may add some sort of translation, scaling, or rotation. This attribute primarily controls the translation, scaling and rotation of print-stream pages.

The effect of a NumberUp attribute on a multidoc print job (a job with multiple documents) depends on whether all the docs have the same number up values specified or whether different docs have different number up values specified, and on the (perhaps defaulted) value of the MultipleDocumentHandling attribute.

IPP Compatibility: The integer value gives the IPP integer value. The category name returned by getName() gives the IPP attribute name.

Constructor Detail

NumberUp

public NumberUp(int value)
Construct a new number up attribute with the given integer value.

Parameters:
value - Integer value.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - (Unchecked exception) Thrown if value is less than 1.
Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)
Returns whether this number up attribute is equivalent to the passed in object. To be equivalent, all of the following conditions must be true:
  1. object is not null.
  2. object is an instance of class NumberUp.
  3. This number up attribute's value and object's value are equal.

Overrides:
equals in class IntegerSyntax
Parameters:
object - Object to compare to.
Returns:
True if object is equivalent to this number up attribute, false otherwise.

getCategory

public final Class<? extends Attribute> getCategory()
Get the printing attribute class which is to be used as the "category" for this printing attribute value.

For class NumberUp, the category is class NumberUp itself.

Specified by:
getCategory in interface Attribute
Returns:
Printing attribute class (category), an instance of class java.lang.Class.

getName

public final String getName()
