( (AX-3.7 and later) The PrinterRecipient component can be used to print alarms to most types of printers (including laser printers) attached to a station running on a Windows platform, or to remote (networked) printers known to its Windows OS. It differs from the older LinePrinterRecipient component, originally intended to work only with line printers—where alarms print without a new page feed on each alarm, and the native font of the target printer is always used.

The new PrinterRecipient provides additional font and style settings, and works well with the “multi-line” alarm message text properties of alarm extension components, introduced starting in AX-3.7.

Alerts may be generated if the printing of an alarm fails, but the printer recipient does not print alarms that it generates itself.
