Managing Print Jobs on a
Macintosh
Your Macintosh printer software includes two management
utilities: Monitor2 and Status Monitor.
◗ If you’re using background printing, Monitor2 starts
automatically when you send a job to the printer. It handles
background printing while you continue to work on your
Macintosh and lets you track documents that are waiting to
be printed.
◗ The Status Monitor alerts you to any problems that occur
during printing. You can also use it at any time to see how
much ink you have left.
Using Monitor2
The Monitor2 utility lets you continue to work on your
Macintosh while your document is printing. However,
background printing is slower and may also slow down your
system.
