# Set up print options for a Print Alarm Status button

At run time, the operator presses a Print Alarm Status button to print the status of a group of alarms in the application.

Tip: | You cannot print the alarm history and the alarm status at the same time. You can print alarms in landscape mode with a line printer, but only one alarm is printed per page. If you set up alarm messages in multiple languages, all messages, trigger labels and times are printed in the current application language.
