# Class PrinterStateReason

java.lang.Object
javax.print.attribute.EnumSyntax
javax.print.attribute.standard.PrinterStateReason

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable, Cloneable, Attribute`

public class PrinterStateReason extends EnumSyntax implements Attribute
Class `PrinterStateReason` is a printing attribute class, an enumeration, that provides additional information about the printer's current state, i.e., information that augments the value of the printer's `PrinterState` attribute. Class PrinterStateReason defines standard printer state reason values. A Print Service implementation only needs to report those printer state reasons which are appropriate for the particular implementation; it does not have to report every defined printer state reason.

Instances of `PrinterStateReason` 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: 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 Details

### OTHER

public static final PrinterStateReason OTHER
The printer has detected an error other than ones listed below.

### MEDIA_NEEDED

public static final PrinterStateReason MEDIA_NEEDED
A tray has run out of media.

### MEDIA_JAM

public static final PrinterStateReason MEDIA_JAM
The device has a media jam.

### MOVING_TO_PAUSED

public static final PrinterStateReason MOVING_TO_PAUSED
Someone has paused the printer, but the device(s) are taking an appreciable time to stop. Later, when all output has stopped, the `PrinterState` becomes `STOPPED`, and the `PAUSED` value replaces the `MOVING_TO_PAUSED` value in the `PrinterStateReasons` attribute. This value must be supported if the printer can be paused and the implementation takes significant time to pause a device in certain circumstances.

### PAUSED

public static final PrinterStateReason PAUSED
Someone has paused the printer and the printer's `PrinterState` is `STOPPED`. In this state, a printer must not produce printed output, but it must perform other operations requested by a client. If a printer had been printing a job when the printer was paused, the `Printer` must resume printing that job when the printer is no longer paused and leave no evidence in the printed output of such a pause. This value must be supported if the printer can be paused.

### SHUTDOWN

public static final PrinterStateReason SHUTDOWN
Someone has removed a printer from service, and the device may be powered down or physically removed. In this state, a printer must not produce printed output, and unless the printer is realized by a print server that is still active, the printer must perform no other operations requested by a client. If a printer had been printing a job when it was shut down, the printer need not resume printing that job when the printer is no longer shut down. If the printer resumes printing such a job, it may leave evidence in the printed output of such a shutdown, e.g. the part printed before the shutdown may be printed a second time after the shutdown.

### CONNECTING_TO_DEVICE

public static final PrinterStateReason CONNECTING_TO_DEVICE
The printer has scheduled a job on the output device and is in the process of connecting to a shared network output device (and might not be able to actually start printing the job for an arbitrarily long time depending on the usage of the output device by other servers on the network).

### TIMED_OUT

public static final PrinterStateReason TIMED_OUT
The server was able to connect to the output device (or is always connected), but was unable to get a response from the output device.

### STOPPING

public static final PrinterStateReason STOPPING
The printer is in the process of stopping the device and will be stopped in a while. When the device is stopped, the printer will change the `PrinterState` to `STOPPED`. The `STOPPING` reason is never an error, even for a printer with a single output device. When an output device ceases accepting jobs, the printer's `PrinterStateReasons` will have this reason while the output device completes printing.

### STOPPED_PARTLY

public static final PrinterStateReason STOPPED_PARTLY
When a printer controls more than one output device, this reason indicates that one or more output devices are stopped. If the reason's severity is a report, fewer than half of the output devices are stopped. If the reason's severity is a warning, half or more but fewer than all of the output devices are stopped.

### TONER_LOW

public static final PrinterStateReason TONER_LOW
The device is low on toner.

### TONER_EMPTY

public static final PrinterStateReason TONER_EMPTY
The device is out of toner.

### SPOOL_AREA_FULL

public static final PrinterStateReason SPOOL_AREA_FULL
The limit of persistent storage allocated for spooling has been reached. The printer is temporarily unable to accept more jobs. The printer will remove this reason when it is able to accept more jobs. This value should be used by a non-spooling printer that only accepts one or a small number jobs at a time or a spooling printer that has filled the spool space.

### COVER_OPEN

public static final PrinterStateReason COVER_OPEN
One or more covers on the device are open.

### INTERLOCK_OPEN

public static final PrinterStateReason INTERLOCK_OPEN
One or more interlock devices on the printer are unlocked.

### DOOR_OPEN

One or more doors on the device are open.

### INPUT_TRAY_MISSING

public static final PrinterStateReason INPUT_TRAY_MISSING
One or more input trays are not in the device.

One or more output trays are not in the device.

### OUTPUT_AREA_ALMOST_FULL

public static final PrinterStateReason OUTPUT_AREA_ALMOST_FULL
One or more output areas are almost full (e.g. tray, stacker, collator).

### OUTPUT_AREA_FULL

public static final PrinterStateReason OUTPUT_AREA_FULL
One or more output areas are full (e.g. tray, stacker, collator).

### MARKER_SUPPLY_LOW

### getCategory

Get the printing attribute class which is to be used as the "category" for this printing attribute value.

For class `PrinterStateReason` and any vendor-defined subclasses, the category is class `PrinterStateReason` itself.

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

### getName

public final String getName()
