toString method

  1. @override
String toString()
override

A string representation of this object.

Some classes have a default textual representation, often paired with a static parse function (like int.parse). These classes will provide the textual representation as their string representation.

Other classes have no meaningful textual representation that a program will care about. Such classes will typically override toString to provide useful information when inspecting the object, mainly for debugging or logging.

Implementation

@override
String toString() {
  if(isReadyToPrint) return "Ready";
  if(isPaperOut) return "PaperOut";
  if(isReceiveBufferFull) return "Full";
  if(isRibbonOut) return "RibbonOut";
  if(isHeadTooHot) return "Hot";
  if(isHeadCold) return "Cold";
  if(isHeadOpen) return "Open";
  if(isReadyToPrint) return "Ready";

  return "Unknown";
}
