JobSettings (JavaFX 8)

java.lang.Object
- javafx.print.JobSettings

```
public final class JobSettings
extends Object
```
The JobSettings class encapsulates most of the configuration of a print job. Applications do not - and cannot - directly create or set a JobSettings instance. One is already installed on the print job when it is created.
As documented on PrinterJob, the JobSettings installed on that job will initially reflect the current default settings for the initially associated printer for that job.
The JobSettings delegate then remains the same for the life of the job, and will have it's member properties updated to be compatible with a change in Printer on the job. For example as a result of a user interaction via a platform's dialog. An incompatible setting will usually cause the setting to revert to the default for the new printer.
Any implicit or explicit updates to settings resulting from the user interaction with dialog will be propagated and visible to the application once the user approves the settings by dismissing the dialog using its "accept" option.
For most printing applications it is likely sufficient to let the user set the desired options and have these propagated to the job. For applications which need them, there are setter and getter methods for the individual options, which are also available as properties, and change in values of settings may be monitored and updated via these properties.
Not all values of settings are available on all printers. For example a printer may not support two-sided printing. See the Printer class for how to to determine supported settings.

    See Also:
    
    getCollation(), setCollation(Collation)
  - getCollation
```
public Collation getCollation()
```
    Collation determines how sheets are sorted when multiple copies of a document are printed. As such it is only relevant if 2 or more copies of a document with 2 more sheets are printed. A sheet is the physical media, so documents with 2 pages that are printed N-up, or double-sided may still have only one sheet. A collated print job produces documents with sheets of a document sorted in sequence. An uncollated job collects together the multiple copies of the same sheet. Uncollated (false) is the typical default value.
  setCollation public void setCollation(Collation collation) Set the Collation property. A null value is ignored. Parameters: collation - new setting for collation printColorProperty public final ObjectProperty<PrintColor> printColorProperty() Property representing an instance of PrintColor. See Also: getPrintColor(), setPrintColor(PrintColor) getPrintColor public PrintColor getPrintColor() Gets the value of the property printColor. Property description: Property representing an instance of PrintColor. setPrintColor public void setPrintColor(PrintColor color) Set the PrintColor property. A null value is ignored. Parameters: color - new setting for print color. printQualityProperty public final ObjectProperty<PrintQuality> printQualityProperty() Property representing an instance of PrintQuality. See Also: getPrintQuality(), setPrintQuality(PrintQuality) getPrintQuality public PrintQuality getPrintQuality() Gets the value of the property printQuality. Property description: Property representing an instance of PrintQuality. setPrintQuality public void setPrintQuality(PrintQuality quality) Set the PrintQuality property. A null value is ignored. Note that quality and resolution overlapping concepts. Therefore a printer may support setting one, or the other but not both. Applications setting these programmatically should query both properties and select appropriately from the supported values. If a printer supports non-standard values, code likely cannot distinguish the printer's interpretation of these values and is safest to stick to selecting from the standard value that matches the requirement. Parameters: quality - new setting for print quality. printResolutionProperty public final ObjectProperty<PrintResolution> printResolutionProperty() Property representing an instance of PrintResolution. See Also: getPrintResolution(), setPrintResolution(PrintResolution) getPrintResolution public PrintResolution getPrintResolution() setPrintResolution public void setPrintResolution(PrintResolution resolution) Set the PrintResolution property. A null value is ignored. Note that quality and resolution overlapping concepts. Therefore a printer may support setting one, or the other but not both. Applications setting these programmatically should query both properties and select appropriately from the supported values. If a printer supports non-standard values, code likely cannot distinguish the printer's interpretation of these values and is safest to stick to selecting from the standard value that matches the requirement. Parameters: resolution - new setting for print resolution. paperSourceProperty public final ObjectProperty<PaperSource> paperSourceProperty() Property representing an instance of PaperSource. See Also: getPaperSource(), setPaperSource(PaperSource) getPaperSource public PaperSource getPaperSource() Gets the value of the property paperSource. Property description: Property representing an instance of PaperSource. setPaperSource public void setPaperSource(PaperSource value) Sets the value of the property paperSource. Property description: Property representing an instance of PaperSource. pageLayoutProperty public final ObjectProperty<PageLayout> pageLayoutProperty() Property representing an instance of PageLayout. See Also: getPageLayout(), setPageLayout(PageLayout) getPageLayout public PageLayout getPageLayout() Get the current page layout for this job. Returns: page layout to use for the job. setPageLayout public void setPageLayout(PageLayout pageLayout) Set the PageLayout to use. Parameters: pageLayout - The page layout to use. toString public String toString() Overrides: toString in class Object
