Method Detail

process

public static Map<String,String> process(String destinationDevice,
                         Map<String,String> settingsToSet)
                                  throws ConnectionException,
                                         SettingsException

Sends the settingsToSet to the destinationDevice and then returns the updated setting values.

Note: Due to the setting verification and validation, additional time and data traffic will be needed for each SettingsSetter process call. It is recommended to bundle all changing settings into one map and one method call to reduce this overhead.

Parameters:

destinationDevice - The connection string.

settingsToSet - The settings map to send to the printer.

Returns:

The settings' values after the map has been sent to the printer.

Throws:

ConnectionException - If there is an error communicating with the printer.

SettingsException - If the setting could not be set or retrieved.
