The Print panel displays a built-in preview of the document contents.

```
static var showsPreview: NSPrintPanel.Options { get }
```

This option is only appropriate when the Print panel is used in conjunction with an [`NSPrintOperation`](/documentation/AppKit/NSPrintOperation) object to print a document.
