Description: declaration: module: java.desktop, package: java.awt.print, class: Paper
Keywords: java.awt.print.Paper class

# Class Paper

java.lang.Object
java.awt.print.Paper

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Cloneable`

public class Paper extends Object implements Cloneable
The `Paper` class describes the physical characteristics of a piece of paper.

When creating a `Paper` object, it is the application's responsibility to ensure that the paper size and the imageable area are compatible. For example, if the paper size is changed from 11 x 17 to 8.5 x 11, the application might need to reduce the imageable area so that whatever is printed fits on the page.

  - ### getImageableY

    public double getImageableY()
    Returns the y coordinate of the upper-left corner of this `Paper` object's imageable area.
    Returns:
      the y coordinate of the imageable area.

  - ### getImageableWidth

    public double getImageableWidth()
