# makeAndModel

A string that contains the manufacturer’s name and the model name of the printer.

## Declaration

```swift
var makeAndModel: String? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The string in this property is provided by the printer and usually consists of the manufacturer’s name, the model name of the printer, and the model number of the printer. For printers you create yourself using the init(url:) method, the value of this property is nil until you successfully connect to the printer using the contactPrinter(_:) method.
