Using the Print Backgrounder for Macintosh 26

your print jobs. Backgrounder processes all print jobs in the
order in which they were sent to the printer.

C. THE BACKGROUNDER STATUS WINDOW

The Backgrounder status window gives you detailed
information about the status of the print job currently
processing and about each print job waiting in the queue. The
status of the job currently processing displays at the top of the
status window. The message indicates how much of the job
has been processed and displays any other relevant
information. This line is blank if, for example, you manually
start Backgrounder and no job is currently being processed.

The list of queued jobs displays below the current job in the
order in which they were sent to the printer. Some
applications, however, may put each page of the document into
a separate spool file, creating a different job in the queue for
each page. Print jobs are always added to the bottom of the
queue. When the job currently processing is complete, the
spool file for that job is deleted from the hard disk, and the
top-most job in the queue is then processed.

Jobs that are Òon holdÓ are displayed at the bottom of the job
list in italic font. A job goes on hold when it has been canceled
or when an error is detected during processing. An overall
status message about the Backgrounder displays in the lower
left corner of the window. The normal message is ÒAvailable,Ó
indicating that the Backgrounder can process jobs immediately
or add them to the queue.
