# UIPrintInfo

Information about a print job that the system uses when it prints.

```
@MainActor class UIPrintInfo
```

## Overview

A [`UIPrintInfo`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInfo) object encapsulates information about a print job, including printer identifier, job name, output type (photo, normal, grayscale), orientation (portrait or landscape), and any selected duplex mode.

Typically, you create a [`UIPrintInfo`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInfo) object and assign it to the [`printInfo`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInteractionController/printInfo) property of the shared [`UIPrintInteractionController`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInteractionController) instance. However, it isn’t necessary to create a [`UIPrintInfo`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInfo) object for a print job; UIKit assumes certain defaults. In the printing-options user interface, users can select the printer, single-sided or double-sided printing for duplex printers, and (if the app allows it) a range of pages to print.

## Topics

### Creating a print info object

[`printInfo()`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInfo/printInfo())

Returns a print-information object initialized with default values.

[`init(dictionary:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInfo/init(dictionary:))

Returns a print-information object that is initialized with the data in the passed-in dictionary.

[`dictionaryRepresentation`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInfo/dictionaryRepresentation)

A dictionary representation of a print-information object.

[`init(coder:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInfo/init(coder:))

Creates a print info object from data in an unarchiver.

### Managing print-job attributes

[`duplex`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInfo/duplex-swift.property)

The duplex mode to use for the print job.

[`UIPrintInfo.Duplex`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInfo/Duplex-swift.enum)

Constants that describe the duplex mode of a selected printer.

[`jobName`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInfo/jobName)

The name of the print job.

[`orientation`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInfo/orientation-swift.property)

The orientation of the printed content, portrait or landscape.

[`UIPrintInfo.Orientation`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInfo/Orientation-swift.enum)

Constants that describe the orientation of printing on a page.

[`outputType`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInfo/outputType-swift.property)

The kind of printable content.

[`UIPrintInfo.OutputType`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInfo/OutputType-swift.enum)

Constants that describe the output type, which is an indication of the type of content the app is drawing or providing.

[`printerID`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrintInfo/printerID)

An identifier of the printer to use for the print job.
