Class MediaSize

public class MediaSize extends Size2DSyntax implements Attribute

The MediaSize printing attribute class specifies the size of a printing media. The size is defined in portrait orientation with x at the bottom edge and y at the left edge.

There are several media sizes predefined through the nested classes. Further sizes may be provided by the application. MediaSize is not used as a printing attribute currently. It may be used to get the actual sizes for a named media or to find a suitable MediaSizeName instance by querying with the needed sizes.

IPP Compatibility: MediaSize is not an IPP 1.1 attribute.
