Microsoft has distributed two versions of Print Manager,
one with the original Windows 3.1, and an updated version
with Windows for Workgroups and the free Windows 3.11
update. The newer version is generally better. It has a
button bar to control printer operation and shows Version
3.11 under Help/About Print Manager.
For best performance with the DocuMatch system, set the
Printing Priority to High. In the 3.11 version make this
selection from the Print Manager's Options/Background
Printing screen. In the 3.1 version make the selection
directly on the Options menu.
You can also select the default printer and connections
from within Print Manager if you have it turned on.
If you are using Microsoft Word with Print Manager en-
abled, you can have control returned to your PC even
faster if you turn on Background Printing. To do so:
1. Choose the Print tab under Tools/Options.
2. Select Background Printing.
NOTE: DO NOT use background printing if you are
using Microsoft Word 97.
