Memory Usage
The FARGO Backgrounder processes documents
faster if it is given more memory in which to
operate. You can change the amount of memory
used by Backgrounder by clicking on the
Backgrounder icon and selecting Get Info from the
File menu. Type the desired amount of allocated
memory into the box in the lower, right-hand
corner (this is not possible while Backgrounder is
running). Remember that increasing the memory
for Backgrounder decreases the amount available
to the other programs.
NOTE
You should start Backgrounder before starting any other
applications. The remaining memory is then available in
a single block, rather than in smaller, segmented blocks.
Batch Printing
When configured properly, the FARGO
Backgrounder can be used to process a large print
run when the computer is not normally in use (for
example, during a lunch break or overnight). This
type of printing is called ÒbatchÓ printing. To
create a batch print, simply print the required print
jobs with the Background/Later option of the Print
dialog box selected. Do this, however, without
actually starting the Backgrounder.
Spool files are stored on the hard disk and remain
on disk even when Backgrounder is not running.
Backgrounder looks for new spool files each time it
is started and adds any that it finds to the list of
queued print jobs. When you choose to process the
batch of spool files, start the Backgrounder.
Backgrounder then locates and automatically
processes all new print jobs.
