## Enum Printer.MarginType

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.Enum<Printer.MarginType>
  - - javafx.print.Printer.MarginType

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `Serializable`, `Comparable<Printer.MarginType>`
  Enclosing class:
    Printer

      public static enum Printer.MarginType
      extends Enum<Printer.MarginType>

  The MarginType is used to determine the printable area of a PageLayout.
  Since:
    JavaFX 8.0

- - ### Enum Constant Summary

    Enum Constants
    Enum Constant | Description
    --- | ---
    `DEFAULT` | This requests a default 0.75 inch margin on all sides.
    `EQUAL` | Choose the largest of the four hardware margins, and use that for all for margins, so that the margins are equal on all sides.
    `EQUAL_OPPOSITES` | Similar to `EQUAL`, but it chooses the larger of the left/right hardware margins and top/bottom hardware margins separately, so that the top and bottom margins are equal, and the left and right margins are equal.
    `HARDWARE_MINIMUM` | Request margins are set to be the smallest on each side that the hardware allows.

- - ### Enum Constant Detail

    - #### DEFAULT

          public static final Printer.MarginType DEFAULT

      This requests a default 0.75 inch margin on all sides. This is considered to be a common default and is supported by all known printers. However this may be adjusted if the paper is too small, to ensure that the margins are not more than 50% of the smaller dimension. Applications that do expect to deal with such small media should likely be specifying the required margins explicitly. In the unlikely event the hardware margin is larger than 0.75" it will be adjusted to that same hardware minimum on all sides.

    - #### HARDWARE_MINIMUM

          public static final Printer.MarginType HARDWARE_MINIMUM

      Request margins are set to be the smallest on each side that the hardware allows. This creates the greatest printable area but the margins may not be aesthetic if they are too small, or there is significant variation on the different sides of the paper.

      This is is also useful for an application that wants to know this so it can construct a new PageLayout that fits within these margins.

    - #### EQUAL

          public static final Printer.MarginType EQUAL

      Choose the largest of the four hardware margins, and use that for all for margins, so that the margins are equal on all sides.

    - #### EQUAL_OPPOSITES

          public static final Printer.MarginType EQUAL_OPPOSITES

      Similar to `EQUAL`, but it chooses the larger of the left/right hardware margins and top/bottom hardware margins separately, so that the top and bottom margins are equal, and the left and right margins are equal.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### values

          public static Printer.MarginType[] values()

      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

          for (Printer.MarginType c : Printer.MarginType.values())
              System.out.println(c);

      Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    - #### valueOf

          public static Printer.MarginType valueOf​(String name)

      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null
