<title>CSS Print Profile</title>
<h2 class="heading settled" data-level="1" id="section-overview"><span class="secno">1. </span><span class="content">1. Overview</span><a class="self-link" href="#section-overview"></a></h2>
<p> All sections of this document are normative unless noted as informative. </p>
<p>This document specifies a profile of the <cite>Cascading Style Sheets,
level 2, revision 1</cite> (CSS 2.1) specification <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css21">[CSS21]</a> along with
the <cite>CSS Paged Media Level 3</cite> <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css3page">[CSS3PAGE]</a> and <cite>CSS Images Level 3</cite> <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css3-images">[CSS3-IMAGES]</a> </p>
<p>CSS 2.1 specifies how developers can author style sheets for
presenting documents across multiple devices and media types. While this is very
important, it is also important that authors have an understanding of what
features are supported on these different devices. Likewise, it is important
that similar devices operate in a similar manner. Otherwise, authors could need
to develop style sheets for each version of each device -- raising the cost of
content development and decreasing interoperability.</p>
<p> The CSS Print Profile specifies a conformance profile for
printing in environments where it is not feasible or desirable to use a
printer-specific driver. An example o
8096
f such an environment is printing to
low-cost printers from mobile phones. The profile identifies a minimum set of properties, values, selectors,
and cascading rules to support these use scenarios. This profile was designed in
conjunction with <cite>XHTML-Print</cite> <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-xhtml-print">[XHTML-PRINT]</a>)
for low cost printers that may not have a full-page buffer and that
generally print from top-to-bottom.</p>
<p> This profile also contains an enhanced layout
extension set which supports more exacting page layouts and orientations. These
features provide sufficient richness to print, for example, photo album pages
from a digital still camera or print-targeted television content.</p>
<p>Conformance to this profile means that a user agent
supports, at a minimum, the features defined in this specification.
This subject is addressed in <a href="#section-conformance">Section 2,
Conformance</a> below.</p>
<h2 class="heading settled" data-level="2" id="section-conformance"><span class="secno">2. </span><span class="content">2. Conformance</span><a class="self-link" href="#section-conformance"></a></h2>
<p>The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY" and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 (see <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-rfc2119">[RFC2119]</a>). However, for readability, these
words do not appear in all uppercase letters in this
specification.</p>
<p>The primary role of a profile is to define a subset of features that provides
a minimal guarantee of interoperability. In the case of the CSS Print Profile,
this guarantee is that a conforming user agent will support the features defined
in this specification following the CSS 2.1 conformance clause (<a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css21">[CSS21]</a> Section 3.2), recast
and summarized below:</p>
<ol>
<li>A CSS Print Profile conforming user agent (PP-UA or more simply "printer") <em class="RFC2119" title="SHALL in the RFC 2119 context">SHALL</em> support the <em>all</em> and <em>print</em> CSS 2.1 media types. A printer <em class="RFC2119" title="MAY in the RFC 2119 context">MAY</em> support other
CSS 2.1 media types, as well.
<li>For each source document, a printer <em class="RFC2119" title="SHALL in the RFC 2119 context">SHALL</em> attempt to retrieve all associated
style sheets that are appropriate for the supported media types.
A failure to retrieve a style sheet due to problems such as
a loss of network connection <em class="RFC2119" title="SHOULD NOT in the RFC 2119 context">SHOULD NOT</em> stop the printer from processing the document.
<li>A printer <em class="RFC2119" title="SHALL in the RFC 2119 context">SHALL</em> parse the style sheets according to this specification. In
particular,
the printer <em class="RFC2119" title="SHALL in the RFC 2119 context">SHALL</em> recognize all CSS Print Profile at-rules, blocks,
declarations, and selectors. If a printer encounters a property that applies for
a supported media type, the printer <em class="RFC2119" title="SHALL in the RFC 2119 context">SHALL</em> parse the value according to the
property definition. This means that the printer <em class="RFC2119" title="SHALL in the RFC 2119 context">SHALL</em> accept all valid values
and <em class="RFC2119" title="MAY in the RFC 2119 context">MAY</em> ignore declarations with invalid values. A printer <em class="RFC2119" title="SHALL in the RFC 2119 context">SHALL</em> ignore rules that
apply to unsupported media types.
<li>For each element in a document tree, the printer <em class="RFC2119" title="SHALL in the RFC 2119 context">SHALL</em> assign a value for
every applicable property according to the property’s definition and the rules
of cascading and inheritance.
<li>If the source document comes with alternate style sheets (such as with the
"alternate" keyword in HTML 4.01 <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-html401">[HTML401]</a>), the printer <em class="RFC2119" title="MAY in the RFC 2119 context">MAY</em> ignore the style sheet or treat it in some implementation dependent manner.
</ol>
<p>As with CSS 2.1, there are qualifications to this conformance clause:</p>
<ol>
<li>Values <em class="RFC2119" title="MAY in the RFC 2119 context">MAY</em> be approximated when <em class="RFC2119" title="REQUIRED in the RFC 2119 context">REQUIRED</em> by the printer.
<li>The inability of a printer to implement part of this specification due to
the limitations of a particular device (e.g., a printer cannot render colors on
a monochrome page) <em class="RFC2119" title="SHALL NOT in the RFC 2119 context">SHALL NOT</em> imply non-conformance.
</ol>
<p>It is <em class="RFC2119" title="RECOMMENDED in the RFC 2119 context">RECOMMENDED</em> that authors use this conformance profile to take advantage
of forward compatibility. Authors <em class="RFC2119" title="MAY in the RFC 2119 context">MAY</em> use style properties with
an understanding that the cascading rules are processed correctly and that
unknown properties and values are ignored. For example:</p>
<div class="code-example">
<pre> body {
background-position: center center;
background-position: 45% 55%;
}
</pre>
</div>
<p>A printer that can accept percentage values for the
background-position property will process the first background-position
declaration and then replace that value with the second
background-position declaration. A printer that cannot accept percentage values will process the first
background-position declaration and ignore the second background-position
declaration.</p>
<h3 class="heading settled" data-level="2.1" id="s2.1"><span class="secno">2.1. </span><span class="content">2.1. Enhanced Layout Extension Conformance</span><a class="self-link" href="#s2.1"></a></h3>
<p>Some print applications require a
more exacting page layout than is available from a
minimally conforming printer (<i>e.g.,</i> photo album pages or pages from
a digital TV).
The Enhanced Layout Extension increases the number
of properties that a conforming printer <em class="RFC2119" title="MUST in the RFC 2119 context">MUST</em> support and thereby the
requirements of its memory and performance capabilities. These
added CSS constructs
are indicated with a "<em class="RFC2119" title="MUST In The RFC 2119 Context">MUST</em>" or
an increased range of values, in the CSS
Print-Enhanced columns below.</p>
<p> Printers supporting the Enhanced Layout
Extension <em class="RFC2119" title="MAY in the RFC 2119 context">MAY</em> also
support an <em class="RFC2119" title="OPTIONAL in the RFC 2119 context">OPTIONAL</em>, discoverable (via some means outside the scope of
this document) Enhanced Layout Extension indicator.</p>
<h2 class="heading settled" data-level="3" id="section-selectors"><span class="secno">3. </span><span class="content">3. Selectors</span><a class="self-link" href="#section-selectors"></a></h2>
<p>In CSS 2.1, pattern matching rules determine which style rules apply to elements
in the document tree <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css21">[CSS21]</a>.</p>
<p> Consideration is given to low-cost printers that might not be able
to store all the attributes of each element, but only keep the few that are necessary.
Therefore, only Enhanced Layout Extension conforming
printers <em class="RFC2119" title="MUST in the RFC 2119 context">MUST</em> support attribute selectors. </p>
<p> The following table summarizes CSS Print Profile selector syntax. In
addition to the selectors marked "<em class="RFC2119" title="MUST In The RFC 2119 Context">MUST</em>"
in the CSS Print or CSS Print-Enhanced columns, the CSS Print
Profile includes the CSS 2.1 grouping mechanism (See <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css21">[CSS21]</a> Section 5.2.1). </p>

<p> As with selectors, the properties a printer <em class="RFC2119" title="MUST in the RFC 2119 context">MUST</em> support are similar to those that a mobile device <em class="RFC2119" title="MUST in the RFC 2119 context">MUST</em> support (<a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css-mobile">[CSS-MOBILE]</a>, <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css-mobile#properties"> Properties</a>) with the exception of those that don’t apply to the
page or are specifically targeted at media other than the page. </p>
<p> In some cases the allowable values for a printer are a subset of the full range of
values to match the reduced memory and performance capabilities of a low-cost printer. </p>
<p>The following table summarizes CSS Print Profile properties and property values.
