From the Select Form Printer menu, choose either Browser Printer, or Send to email address. This tells the system what to do with any notices queued for patrons that do not have an email address in their record (which may be zero) – all other notices will be sent to the email address in the patron record. If you select Browser Printer, you will be prompted to select the printer to send to. If you select Send to email address,  you will be prompted to enter an email address to “print” to. Once you’ve made your selection, click Print.
