D. BACKGROUNDER MENUS
File menu
Open Status Window and Close Status Window: Opens and closes the
Backgrounder status window. The Backgrounder continues to work if the status
window is closed.
Log Files: The Backgrounder has the ability to create and maintain a sequential
history file, or Log file, of Backgrounder print jobs. This Log file can be enabled and
manipulated with the following commands of the File menu:
New Log File: Selects a new file in which to maintain your ongoing
Backgrounder printing log.
Save Copy of Log as: Saves the current Log file to a new file name or location of
your specification.
Start Recording Log: Begins logging print history. Before the Log file is started,
you are asked to specify a Log file in which to save your processed print job
entries. When logging begins, this option dims.
Stop Recording Log: Stops logging print history. This option dims once print
logging stops.
Get Info: Provides additional information about the currently selected print job.
Click on the processing job or any job in the queue, before selecting Get Info.
Double-clicking on a job in the status window is a shortcut for Get Info.
Quit: Exits the Backgrounder. Note that you cannot quit while a job is being
processed (see Stop Processing on the following page). All jobs in the queue are
retained and processed when Backgrounder is next started.
NOTE:
The spool files are stored in the ÒSpool Folder,Ó inside the ÒSystem Folder.Ó If these files are
deleted, the corresponding print jobs will be lost, and must be printed again.
Admin menu
Stop Processing: Stops the Backgrounder from processing any jobs, although it will
still receive them and add them to the queue. A dialog box is displayed if Stop
Processing is selected while Backgrounder is processing a job, asking when the job
should be put on hold. The Backgrounder status box in the lower left-hand corner
of the window indicates that Backgrounder has stopped.
You cannot quit from Backgrounder while it is processing a job. Stop Processing
must first be selected to cancel the processing job and stop Backgrounder. When
Backgrounder stops, the menu changes to Continue Processing. When this option
is selected, the server starts processing the top job in the queue.
Preferences: Presents a dialog box containing options for fine-tuning the
Backgrounder. Background printing priority determines how much time your Mac
spends processing the image, and how much time it spends in the foreground
