What is the Record Printer?
Sonoran CAD’s Record Printer seamlessly connects CAD records with the in-game world, enabling officers to generate and view official documents directly through an interactive in-game printer. Records can be printed at configurable printer objects or within vehicles, shared as inventory items, and viewed entirely in-game.Activation Guide

Sonoran CAD - Print Record Option
Printing In-Game
After selecting Print In-Game, an in-game notification will appear stating “You have a new record to print. Use/printer queue to view queue”.
You can print this file by using the command /printer print <PRINT QUEUE #> near a configured printer (printerObjects) or inside a configured vehicle (vehicleConfig).
Once printed, the PDF will be placed in your hand with a viewer shown on your in-game screen. Buttons on-screen will allow you to maximize, minimize, and exit the window.
If configured, closing the record will place it in your player inventory. Otherwise, the record will be deleted.
Drop Record on Ground
In standalone mode, selecting the Drop on Ground icon will drop the item on the ground. Other users can interact with the drop to pick it up and view the record.
Inventory Support
Records can be stored and shared as an inventory item. Theframeworks configuration item allows for inventories like ESX, QB Core, OX Inventory, and more.

If you are using
ox_inventory on the ESX Framework you must add the following to your ox_inventory/data/items.lua file in order for records to work properly:Sharing Records on Non-Framework Servers
You can now share records on non-framework servers via the newly added commands/printer recordshare and the target user can use the command /printer accept to accept a PDF. If you are in front of someone you can directly hand them the PDF in your hand, or you can “email” the record to their print queue from anywhere on the map. The record must be in your print queue in order to email it.
