7.6 Displaying a Page Setup Dialog

You can allow the user to select the paper size and orientation by displaying a page setup dialog. To do this, you call Toolkit.setupPage.

In the following example:

import java.lang.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.print.*;

public class PageFormatPrint {

   public static void main(String[] args) {
     
     Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();

     // Create a new book 
     Book book = new Book();

     // Create a PageFormat and display the Page Setup dialog
     PageFormat pageFormat = tk.setupPage(new PageFormat());

     // Add two pages to the book that use the same page format and  
     // painter
     book.append(pageFormat, new NumberPainter(), 2);

     /* Get a print job from the graphics environment and
      * tell it to print our book of three pages.
      */
      PrintJob job = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getPrintJob();
      if(job.setupJob(book) == true){
        job.print(book);
      }
      System.exit(0);
   }
}
