/**
 * Class {@code Media} is a printing attribute class that specifies the medium
 * on which to print.
 * <p>
 * Media may be specified in different ways.
 * <ul>
 *   <li>it may be specified by paper source - eg paper tray
 *   <li>it may be specified by a standard size - eg "A4"
 *   <li>it may be specified by a name - eg "letterhead"
 * </ul>
 * Each of these corresponds to the IPP "media" attribute. The current API does
 * not support describing media by characteristics (eg colour, opacity). This
 * may be supported in a later revision of the specification.
 * <p>
 * A {@code Media} object is constructed with a value which represents one of
 * the ways in which the Media attribute can be specified.
 * <p>
 * <b>IPP Compatibility:</b> The category name returned by {@code getName()} is
 * the IPP attribute name. The enumeration's integer value is the IPP enum
 * value. The {@code toString()} method returns the IPP string representation of
 * the attribute value.
