# supportsDuplex

A Boolean value that indicates whether the printer supports printing on both sides of a sheet of paper.

## Declaration

```swift
var supportsDuplex: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The value of this property is true if the printer supports double-sided printing or false if it does not. For printers you create yourself using the init(url:) method, the value of this property is false until you successfully connect to the printer using the contactPrinter(_:) method.
