Class Paper

java.lang.Object
java.awt.print.Paper
All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable
public class Paper extends Object implements Cloneable
The Paper class describes the physical characteristics of a piece of paper.

When creating a Paper object, it is the application's responsibility to ensure that the paper size and the imageable area are compatible. For example, if the paper size is changed from 11 x 17 to 8.5 x 11, the application might need to reduce the imageable area so that whatever is printed fits on the page.
