# orientation

The orientation of the printed content, portrait or landscape.

## Declaration

```swift
var orientation: UIPrintInfo.Orientation { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion An application can set this property to a value thats appropriate to the printable content or it can put up a user interface that enables users to pick the printing orientation. The default value is UIPrintInfo.Orientation.portrait. See the descriptions of the UIPrintInfo.Orientation constants for more information. note: UIKit ignores this property when printable content is assigned to the printingItem or printingItems properties of the shared UIPrintInteractionController object. It determines the orientation based on the type of content.
