OutputQuality Enumeration
Specifies the types of output quality for a print device.
Assembly: ReachFramework (in ReachFramework.dll)
| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Unknown | The feature (whose options are represented by this enumeration) is set to an option not defined in the Print Schema. | |
| Automatic | Automatically selects a quality type that is based on the contents of a print job. | |
| Draft | Draft quality. | |
| Fax | Fax quality. | |
| High | Higher than normal quality. | |
| Normal | Normal quality. | |
| Photographic | Photographic quality. | |
| Text | Text quality. |
Use the values of this type primarily for these purposes:
As members of the OutputQualityCapability collection, which is a property of PrintCapabilities, these values indicate the types of output quality that a printer supports.
As the value of the OutputQuality property of a PrintTicket, they direct a printer to produce a particular quality.
The Unknown value is never used in properties of PrintCapabilities objects.
You should never set a PrintTicket property to Unknown. If some other PrintTicket producing application has created a PrintTicket document that sets the output quality feature to an unrecognized option (that is, an option that is not defined in the Print Schema), then a PrintTicket object in your application that is constructed with that document will have Unknown as the value of the OutputQuality property.
Although the PrintTicket and PrintCapabilities classes cannot be inherited, you can extend the Print Schema to recognize print device features that are not accounted for in the PrintTicket or PrintCapabilities classes. For more information see How to: Extend the Print Schema and Create New Print System Classes.
The following example shows how to test a printer's capabilities and configure the print job to take advantage of them. For the complete example, see Creating an XPS Document Sample.
