Class Compression

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Cloneable, Attribute, DocAttribute

    public class Compression
extends EnumSyntax
implements DocAttribute
    Class Compression is a printing attribute class, an enumeration, that specifies how print data is compressed. Compression is an attribute of the print data (the doc), not of the Print Job. If a Compression attribute is not specified for a doc, the printer assumes the doc's print data is uncompressed (i.e., the default Compression value is always NONE).

    IPP Compatibility: The category name returned by getName() is the IPP attribute name. The enumeration's integer value is the IPP enum value. The toString() method returns the IPP string representation of the attribute value.

      • 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.

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