Class Severity

      javax.print.attribute.EnumSyntax
          javax.print.attribute.standard.Severity

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, Cloneable, Attribute

    public final class Severity

extends EnumSyntax
implements Attribute

Class Severity is a printing attribute class, an enumeration, that denotes the severity of a `PrinterStateReason` attribute.

Instances of Severity do not appear in a Print Service's attribute set directly. Rather, a `PrinterStateReasons` attribute appears in the Print Service's attribute set. The `PrinterStateReasons` attribute contains zero, one, or more than one `PrinterStateReason` objects which pertain to the Print Service's status, and each `PrinterStateReason` object is associated with a Severity level of REPORT (least severe), WARNING, or ERROR (most severe). The printer adds a `PrinterStateReason` object to the Print Service's `PrinterStateReasons` attribute when the corresponding condition becomes true of the printer, and the printer removes the `PrinterStateReason` object again when the corresponding condition becomes false, regardless of whether the Print Service's overall `PrinterState` also changed.

IPP Compatibility: `Severity.toString()` returns either "error", "warning", or "report". The string values returned by each individual `PrinterStateReason` and associated `Severity` object's `toString()` methods, concatenated together with a hyphen (`"-"`) in between, gives the IPP keyword value for a `PrinterStateReasons`. The category name returned by `getName()` gives the IPP attribute name.

Field Summary
`static Severity` | `ERROR` Indicates that the `PrinterStateReason` is an "error" (most severe).
`static Severity` | `REPORT` Indicates that the `PrinterStateReason` is a "report" (least severe).
`static Severity` | `WARNING` Indicates that the `PrinterStateReason` is a "warning." An implementation may choose to omit some or all warnings.

Constructor Summary
`protected` | `Severity(int value)` Construct a new severity enumeration value with the given integer value.

Method Summary
`Class<? extends Attribute>` | `getCategory()` Get the printing attribute class which is to be used as the "category" for this printing attribute value.
`protected EnumSyntax[]` | `getEnumValueTable()` Returns the enumeration value table for class Severity.
`String` | `getName()` Get the name of the category of which this attribute value is an instance.
`protected String[]` | `getStringTable()` Returns the string table for class Severity.

Field Detail

### REPORT

    public static final Severity REPORT

  Indicates that the `PrinterStateReason` is a "report" (least severe). An implementation may choose to omit some or all reports. Some reports specify finer granularity about the printer state; others serve as a precursor to a warning. A report must contain nothing that could affect the printed output.

### WARNING

    public static final Severity WARNING

  Indicates that the `PrinterStateReason` is a "warning." An implementation may choose to omit some or all warnings. Warnings serve as a precursor to an error. A warning must contain nothing that prevents a job from completing, though in some cases the output may be of lower quality.

### ERROR

    public static final Severity ERROR

  Indicates that the `PrinterStateReason` is an "error" (most severe). An implementation must include all errors. If this attribute contains one or more errors, the printer's `PrinterState` must be STOPPED.

Constructor Detail

### Severity

    protected Severity(int value)

  Construct a new severity enumeration value with the given integer value.

  Parameters:
    `value` - Integer value.

Method Detail

### getStringTable

    protected String[] getStringTable()

  Returns the string table for class Severity.

  Overrides:
    `getStringTable` in class `EnumSyntax`
  Returns:
    the string table

### getEnumValueTable

    protected EnumSyntax[] getEnumValueTable()

  Returns the enumeration value table for class Severity.

  Overrides:
    `getEnumValueTable` in class `EnumSyntax`
  Returns:
    the value table

### 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.

  For class Severity, the category is class Severity itself.

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

### getName

    public final String getName()

  Get the name of the category of which this attribute value is an instance.

  For class Severit, the category name is `"severity"`.

  Specified by:
    `getName` in interface `Attribute`
  Returns:
    Attribute category name.
