Managing Print Jobs
4-14
Managing Print Jobs on a
Macintosh
Your Macintosh printer software includes two print job
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,
lets you track documents that are waiting to be printed, and
lets you set printing priorities for waiting print jobs.
◗ 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.
◗ The Configuration utility lets you select how you want to
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 (however,
background printing is slower and may also slow down your
system). You can then open the Monitor3 dialog box to check
on your print jobs and cancel, pause, or restart them.
To use this utility, you need to turn on background printing
and increase the memory allocation for Monitor3, as described
in the next section.
