Newer printers have their own built-in email addresses to support cloud computing. If you are using a new printer, therefore, the email address for notifications should be the printer’s email address. Older printers do not support direct emailing and will therefore require a print proxy. For information on applications available to manage printer routing, see Technical Requirements for Alma Implementation in the Documentation Knowledge Center.
There are several applications available to manage printer routing. For example: 
- MS Outlook printing rules – It is possible to create an email address and link this address to a printer via your MS Outlook printing rules. 
- Automatic Email Manager (AEM) by Namtuk – For details, seehttp://www.namtuk.com/ Note: The above are examples only. Any print proxy that meets your institution's needs can be used.

Note for the campuses that are considering laser printers for printing spine labels: the labels will be printed on a sheet of regular size paper (8.5 x 11) so maybe each sheet can contain about 100 labels. So if you don’t print 100 labels at one time, there would be unused labels on the sheet and it might be difficult to reuse the sheet, resulting in wasted labels. (Thanks to Marcus@ Northridge for pointing this out!)
