public final class Severity
extends EnumSyntax
implements Attribute

Class Severity is a printing attribute class, an enumeration, that denotes the severity of a `PrinterStateReason` attribute.

Instances of Severity do not appear in a Print Service's attribute set directly. Rather, a `PrinterStateReasons` attribute appears in the Print Service's attribute set. The `PrinterStateReasons` attribute contains zero, one, or more than one `PrinterStateReason` objects which pertain to the Print Service's status, and each `PrinterStateReason` object is associated with a Severity level of REPORT (least severe), WARNING, or ERROR (most severe). The printer adds a `PrinterStateReason` object to the Print Service's `PrinterStateReasons` attribute when the corresponding condition becomes true of the printer, and the printer removes the `PrinterStateReason` object again when the corresponding condition becomes false, regardless of whether the Print Service's overall `PrinterState` also changed.

IPP Compatibility: `Severity.toString()` returns either "error", "warning", or "report". The string values returned by each individual `PrinterStateReason` and associated `Severity` object's `toString()` methods, concatenated together with a hyphen (`"-"`) in between, gives the IPP keyword value for a `PrinterStateReasons`. The category name returned by `getName()` gives the IPP attribute name.

Field Summary
`static Severity` | `ERROR` Indicates that the `PrinterStateReason` is an "error" (most severe).
`static Severity` | `REPORT` Indicates that the `PrinterStateReason` is a "report" (least severe).
`static Severity` | `WARNING` Indicates that the `PrinterStateReason` is a "warning." An implementation may choose to omit some or all warnings.

Constructor Summary
`protected` | `Severity(int value)` Construct a new severity enumeration value with the given integer value.

Method Summary
`Class` | `getCategory()` Get the printing attribute class which is to be used as the "category" for this printing attribute value.
`protected EnumSyntax[]` | `getEnumValueTable()` Returns the enumeration value table for class Severity.
`String` | `getName()` Get the name of the category of which this attribute value is an instance.
`protected String[]` | `getStringTable()` Returns the string table for class Severity.

Field Detail

### REPORT

    public static final Severity REPORT

  Indicates that the `PrinterStateReason` is a "report" (least severe). An implementation may choose to omit some or all reports. Some reports specify finer granularity about the printer state; others serve as a precursor to a warning. A report must contain nothing that could affect the printed output.

### WARNING

    public static final Severity WARNING

  Indicates that the `PrinterStateReason` is a "warning." An implementation may choose to omit some or all warnings. Warnings serve as a precursor to an error. A warning must contain nothing that prevents a job from completing, though in some cases the output may be of lower quality.

### ERROR

    public static final Severity ERROR

  Indicates that the `PrinterStateReason` is an "error" (most severe). An implementation must include all errors. If this attribute contains one or more errors, the printer's `PrinterState` must be STOPPED.

Constructor Detail

### Severity

    protected Severity(int value)

  Construct a new severity enumeration value with the given integer value.

Parameters:
  `value` - Integer value.

Method Detail

### getStringTable

    protected String[] getStringTable()

  Returns the string table for class Severity.

  Overrides:
    `getStringTable` in class `EnumSyntax`
  Returns:
    the string table

### getEnumValueTable

    protected EnumSyntax[] getEnumValueTable()

  Returns the enumeration value table for class Severity.

  Overrides:
    `getEnumValueTable` in class `EnumSyntax`
  Returns:
    the value table

### getCategory

    public final Class getCategory()

  Get the printing attribute class which is to be used as the "category" for this printing attribute value.

  For class Severity, the category is class Severity itself.

  Specified by:
    `getCategory` in interface `Attribute`
  Returns:
    Printing attribute class (category), an instance of class `java.lang.Class`.

### getName

    public final String getName()

  Get the name of the category of which this attribute value is an instance.

  For class Severit, the category name is `"severity"`.

  Specified by:
    `getName` in interface `Attribute`
  Returns:
    Attribute category name.
