Named Objects: Printer.PaperName

[ciroettorre]

Hello,

can you tell me the complete list of Printer.PaperName supported by the PDF-XChange Viewer SDK ?
More, is any method existing for passing the paper size numeric code instead of a PaperName string ?

Thanks,

For printing you can specify any paper name which is supported by your printer. For list of possible paper names you can look at the printer preferences.
And no - there are no numeric codes for PaperName, but you can specify exactly paper sizes (PaperWidth and PaperHeight).

[ciroettorre]

it is not clear, however, which kind of string I have to pass to the function.
For example, I used a simple program for getting all the supported paper sizes from a specific printer.
An example of the output is:
Printer: \\ipp://172.22.1.1\ppmcopier
Supported Paper Sizes:
[PaperSize Letter Kind=Letter Height=1100 Width=850]
[PaperSize 11x17 Kind=Standard11x17 Height=1700 Width=1100]
...
Now, consider the PaperSize=11x17: should I pass "11x17" or "Standard11x17" ??
Can you please tell me how the string is mapped into the printer parameters ?

Thanks,
Ciro

hI,

The AX paper name that you have specified is compared with a list of supported paper names which is received from the specified printer.

In this case - try to use "Standard11x17" paper name.

HTH.

[ciroettorre]

in the sample that I have sent:
PaperName = "11x17" ( .NET = PaperSize.PaperName )
Kind = "Standard11x17" ( .NET = PaperSize.Kind )
So you say I should always use the "Kind" property and not the "PaperName" PaperSize property ?

It’s hard to say exactly. It depends on the code which you are using to get the paper name. So, please try both of these variants just to be 100% sure.

For the correct setup of required paper you can try the following:

1. Obtain size of the needed paper.
2. Setup obtained paper size as:
SetProperty("Print.PaperWidth", paper_width_in_mm*10);
SetProperty("Print.PaperHeight", paper_height_in_mm*10);

Second method:
1. Obtain name of the required paper from supported papers list of the selected printer.
2. Pass obtained name:
SetProperty("Print.PaperName", paper_name);
