alarm-LinePrinterRecipient
This component prints alarms to a lineprinter that is attached to a station running on a Windows platform, or to a remote (networked) printer known to its Windows OS. To access this property sheet right-click the LinePrinterRecipient component in the Nav tree and click .
Alerts may be generated if the printing of an alarm fails, but the line printer recipient does not print alarms that it generates itself. The station must have permission to print on any printer chosen (which is typical).
A PrinterRecipient component is also available. It provides more formatting options, applicable to most modern printers.
