What is the A3 Recipe Book

The A3 Recipe Book is a book that is stored on your PC that allows the user to create, delete, edit, print, and recall stored recipes. This book has nothing to do with the local recipe book that each machine might have and it is suggested that you use one or the other (not both) to store your recipes. These recipes are used to load recipes to each device from a central location that can be managed by one person easily.
