public class Paper
extends Object
implements com.esri.arcgis.interop.RemoteObjRef, IPaper, IPaper2, IClone, IPersistStream, ISupportErrorInfo, Externalizable

The default printer page settings.

Remarks

The Paper object is a key object required by the Printer object. The Paper object is responsible for maintaining properties related to the paper and printer used with the Printer object. In the ArcMap application, the Paper object is accessed throught the Printer Setup section of the Page and Print Setup dialog.

When working with an ArcGIS application like ArcMap, a Paper object is automatically created based on the default printer for the system. To use another printer on the system, you must define a new Paper object and set it to the printer or plotter through the PrinterName property. The Paper object can then be associated with the Printer object through the IPrinter::Paper property.

The Paper object is basically a wrapper for the Microsoft GDI DevMode and DevNames parameters. The Windows GDI documentation on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) library provides further details about these structures.

The DevNames structure contains strings that identify the driver, device, and output port names for a printer. The DevMode data structure contains information about the device initialization and environment of a printer.

The Attach method is used by a Printer object when the IPrinter::Paper property is set. ArcObjects developers will typically not need to use this method.

QueryPaperSize is a useful method for interrogating the dimensions of the Printer's currently selected Form size.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

getTrayID

public short getTrayID()

                       AutomationException

The printer tray. Use Win32 DMBIN_xxx constants.

Remarks

Use the TrayID property to control which paper tray will be used for feeding printer paper. Because the value of the TrayID property will be used by the printer driver directly, it must contain a valid value at print time. The Win32 API documentation makes reference to these values as the DMBIN contstants. In practice, no printer driver supports the full range of DMBIN paper tray values; usually only a small subset is valid. Thus, it is not possible to assign an arbitrary DMBIN constant to the TrayID property. You must always first enumerate for valid tray ids before assigning. Use the IPaper interface's Trays enumerator to get a list valid tray ids for the currently selected printer.
