PageOrientation Enumeration
Specifies how pages of content are oriented on print media.
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. | |
| Landscape | Content of the imageable area is rotated on the page 90 degrees counterclockwise from standard (portrait) orientation. | |
| Portrait | Standard orientation. | |
| ReverseLandscape | Content of the imageable area is rotated on the page 90 degrees clockwise from standard (portrait) orientation. | |
| ReversePortrait | Content of the imageable area is upside down relative to standard (portrait) orientation. |
Use the values of this type primarily for these purposes:
As members of the PageOrientationCapability collection, which is a property of PrintCapabilities, these values indicate the orientation types that a printer supports.
As the value of the PageOrientation property of a PrintTicket, the value directs the printer to use a particular orientation.
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 orientation 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 PageOrientation 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 use this enumeration to set PrintTicket values. For the complete example, see Printing an XPS Document.
// Use different PrintTickets for different FixedDocuments. PrintTicket ptFD = new PrintTicket(); if (_firstDocumentPrintTicket <= 1) { // Print the first document in black/white and in portrait // orientation. Since the PrintTicket at the // FixedDocumentSequence level already specifies portrait // orientation, this FixedDocument can just inherit that // setting without having to set it again. ptFD.PageOrientation = PageOrientation.Portrait; ptFD.OutputColor = OutputColor.Monochrome; _firstDocumentPrintTicket++; } else // if (_firstDocumentPrintTicket > 1) { // Print the second document in color and in landscape // orientation. Since the PrintTicket at the // FixedDocumentSequence level already specifies portrait // orientation, this FixedDocument needs to set its // PrintTicket with landscape orientation in order to // override the higher level setting. ptFD.PageOrientation = PageOrientation.Landscape; ptFD.OutputColor = OutputColor.Color; }
