Backgrounder icon. A small diamond symbol is
also displayed next to the Backgrounder icon
within the Application menu.
Complete and save any work in the foreground
application before bringing the Backgrounder to
the front. Once Backgrounder is in the foreground,
the error dialog displays and processing continues
or is canceled. Some errors force Backgrounder to
stop processing all jobs.
G. Batch Printing
When configured properly, the Backgrounder can
be used to process a large print run when the
computer is not normally in use (for example,
during a lunch break or overnight). This type of
printing is called ÒbatchÓ printing. To create a batch
print, open Backgrounder by double-clicking on its
icon within the Extensions folder. Once
Backgrounder is running, select Stop Processing
from BackgrounderÕs Admin menu. Then, print the
required print jobs making sure Backgrounder is
turned on in the Chooser.
The print jobs will be queued in Backgrounder in
the order in which they were sent. Spool files for
each of these print jobs will be created and stored
on the hard disk and will remain on the hard disk
until Backgrounder starts processing. Be aware that
these spool files take up space on your hard disk
and that you must leave at least 100 Mb of free
hard disk space to print to the Color Sign Printer.
When you choose to process your batch of print
jobs, simply choose Start Processing from the
Admin menu. Be sure the Color Sign Printer has
enough supplies installed to print all of the print
jobs stored within Backgrounder.
