'Declaration
Public Enumeration Stapling
'Usage
Dim instance As Stapling

public enum Stapling
public enum Stapling
<object property="EnumerationValue" .../>

 Member nameDescription

SaddleStitchMultiple staples along the fold line. Also called saddle-stitch stapling. 
StapleBottomLeftA single staple in the lower-left corner. 
StapleBottomRightA single staple in the lower-right corner. 
StapleDualBottomTwo staples along the lower edge. 
StapleDualLeftTwo staples along the left edge. 
StapleDualRightTwo staples along the right edge. 
StapleDualTopTwo staples along the upper edge. 
StapleTopLeftA single staple in the upper-left corner. 
StapleTopRightA single staple in the upper-right corner. 
UnknownThe feature (whose options are represented by this enumeration) is set to an option not defined in the Print Schema

Use the values of this type primarily for these purposes:

  • As members of the StaplingCapability collection, which is a property of PrintCapabilities, these values indicate the types of stapling that a printer supports.

  • As the value of the Stapling property of a PrintTicket, the value instructs the printer whether, and where, to staple.

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 stapling 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 Stapling 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.
