Printing Pages with Different Formats
A Book object is used when printing pages with different page
formats. This example prints the first page in landscape and five
more pages in portrait.
public class PrintBook {
public static void main(String[] args) {
PrinterJob pjob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
Book book = new Book();
// First part.
PageFormat landscape = pjob.defaultPage();
landscape.setOrientation(PageFormat.LANDSCAPE);
book.append(new Printable1(), landscape);
// Second part.
PageFormat portrait = pjob.defaultPage();
portrait.setOrientation(PageFormat.PORTRAIT);
book.append(new Printable2(), portrait, 5);
pjob.setPageable(book);
try {
pjob.print();
} catch (PrinterException e) {
}
}
static class Printable1 implements Printable {
public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pageIndex) {
drawGraphics(g, pf);
return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
}
}
static class Printable2 implements Printable {
public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pageIndex) {
drawGraphics(g, pf);
return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
}
}
}
