Managing Print Jobs
4-15
Managing Print Jobs on a
Macintosh
Your Macintosh printer software includes two management
utilities: Monitor3 and Status Monitor. It also includes a
Configuration utility for setting up print monitoring options.
◗ If you’re using background printing, Monitor3 starts
automatically when you send a job to the printer. It handles
printing while you continue to work on your Macintosh
and lets you track documents that are waiting to be printed.
◗ The Status Monitor lets you see how much ink you have
left.
◗ The Configuration utility lets you select how you’ll be
notified of printer errors and where you want print job files
stored.
Using Monitor3
The Monitor3 utility lets you continue to work on your
Macintosh while your document is printing. You can use
Monitor3 to check or cancel any pending print jobs. It also
shows the status of the job currently being printed.
If you want to use this utility, you need to turn on background
printing in the Chooser and increase the memory allocation for
Monitor3, as described in the next section.
