Section 6: Using the Print Backgrounder for Macintosh 45
Using the Print
Backgrounder
for Macintosh
The printer driver for Macintosh provides a background print utility called the
Print Backgrounder. This print utility is turned on or off through the Chooser.
When the Backgrounder is turned on, it allows you to conveniently continue
working in the foreground of your application while printing in the background.
When Backgrounder is turned off, all print jobs are processed immediately in the
foreground of your application. The Backgrounder offers many helpful features
which are described further in this section.
A. INSTALLING THE BACKGROUNDER
The Backgrounder is installed by selecting the Install Background Print Utility
option from within the printer driverÕs installer program. This option is NOT
selected by default, so if you did not select the Backgrounder option when
installing the printer driver, it is most likely not installed. To install the
Backgrounder, simply go through the printer driver installation procedure
described in Section 5-D making sure that the Install Background Print Utility
option is selected. The Backgrounder installs into the Extensions folder of your
startup drive. Once installed, Backgrounder will automatically open and close with
the start and finish of each print job. To manually open Backgrounder, double-click
on the Print Backgrounder icon within the Extensions folder.
