Using Background Printing
The print processing method that enables you to do other tasks simultaneously while
printing documents is called background printing.
Normally, the Canon BJ Printer Driver performs background printing. The BJ Background
Monitor and BJ Backgrounder allow you to confirm the progress of printing that is being
performed in the background.
About background printing
You can see the Background Printing checkbox in the Page Layout tab of the Printer
Properties dialog box. When background printing is enabled, the BJ Background Monitor
and BJ Backgrounder are launched before the printer starts the print job. You can verify
information on the print process.
Note
When background printing is disabled in the Page Layout tab, the following
settings cannot be used because background printing is applied to them.
Page Layout tab:
Page Layout Printing, Poster Printing, Copies, Printer control, Reverse
order and Collate
Stamp/Background tab:
All stamp and background settings
Quality tab (opens from the Advanced button in the Main tab):
