Class PrinterParameters

java.lang.Object
  com.sap.ip.me.api.pios.connection.ConnectionParameters
      com.sap.ip.me.api.pios.printer.PrinterParameters

public final class PrinterParameters
extends ConnectionParameters

Use a PrinterParameters class instance as a parameter to the open method of the Connector to create a printer connection. A connection object is returned. This object depends on the printer mode parameter. Each printer mode has a specific connection object. Use constant attributes names, found on PrinterConnection.Attributes, to determine if a particular printer functionality is supported.

Example: Open a connection in line mode.

 
 
        Connector connector = Connector.getInstance();

        DriverInfo[] printers = connector.listDrivers(ConnectionType.PRINTER);
        PrinterParameters parameters = new PrinterParameters(printers[0]);
        parameters.setPrinterMode(PrinterParameters.LINE_MODE);

        LinePrinter lp = (LinePrinter)connector.open(parameters);

        //Add some code here
 
        lp.doPrint(1);
        lp.close();
