```

## Discussion

Discussion Your application uses print settings objects to store information such as the number of copies and the range of pages to print in a printing session. To create a print settings object, you use the function PMCreatePrintSettings(_:). A new print settings object is empty and unusable until you call PMSessionDefaultPrintSettings(_:_:) or PMCopyPrintSettings(_:_:) to initialize the settings. You can also use the functions PMSetPrintSettingsExtendedData and PMGetPrintSettingsExtendedData to store and retrieve application-specific data in a print settings object.
