Class: PrintTask
[ AMD Module Require | Legacy Module Require ]
require(["esri/tasks/PrintTask"], function(PrintTask) { /* code goes here */ });
Description
(Added at v2.6)
The PrintTask class generates a printer-ready version of the map using an Export Web Map Task available with ArGIS Server 10.1 and later. The PrintTask class is used when you want more granular control of the user interface for example, if you want to provide users the ability to define what appears on the printed page. View the Print widget for an out-of-the-box widget that provides a simple user interface for printing maps. The PrintTask requires an ArcGIS Server 10.1 or higher Export Web Map Task.
Known limitations:
- VectorTileLayer printing requires ArcGIS Server 10.5.1 or later. Using ArcGIS Server 10.5.1, the PrintTask will create a client-side image for the VectorTileLayer in the printout. For printing secure VectorTileLayers with ArcGIS Server 10.5.1 or 10.6.0, the PrintTask will also create a client-side image for the VectorTileLayer in the printout. This has some limitations related to large size printing quality and a dependency on browser window height/width ratio.
