  • Method Details

    • supportsVolumes

      boolean supportsVolumes()
      Returns true if this embosser has some method for volume handling
      Returns:
      returns true if this embosser supports volumes

    • supports8dot

      boolean supports8dot()
      Returns true if this embosser supports 8 dot braille
      Returns:
      returns true if this embosser supports 8 dot braille

    • supportsDuplex

      boolean supportsDuplex()
      Returns true if this embosser supports duplex printing
      Returns:
      returns true if this embosser supports duplex printing

    • supportsAligning

      boolean supportsAligning()
      Returns true if this embosser supports aligning. This indicates that rows can be padded with whitespace to move the text block horizontally using the value returned by getMaxWidth. Should return true for all physical embossers, since they all have a finite row length.
      Returns:
      returns true if this embosser supports aligning, false otherwise.

    • supportsZFolding

      boolean supportsZFolding()
      Returns true if this embosser supports z-folding. This indicates that, if tractor paper is used, the embosser can emboss every other paper upside down with the rear side up so that pages are ordered face up as they fold naturally in the output stack.
      Returns:
      returns true if this embosser supports z-folding, false otherwise.

    • supportsPrintMode

      boolean supportsPrintMode(EmbosserProperties.PrintMode mode)
      Returns true if this embosser supports magazine layout. This indicates that the embosser can reorder pages and emboss two pages side-by-side on the same side of the paper (and two more on the other side), so that a readable document is created by stapling and folding the output stack in the middle.
      Returns:
      returns true if this embosser supports magazine layout, false otherwise.
