Print job in which a print error has occurred

The Backgrounder status window gives you detailed information about the status of the print job currently processing and about each print job waiting in the queue. The status of the job currently processing displays at the top of the status window. The message indicates how much of the job has been processed and displays any other relevant information. This line is blank if, for example, you manually start Backgrounder and no job is currently being processed.

The list of queued jobs displays below the current job in the order in which they were sent to the printer. Some applications, however, may put each page of the document into a separate spool file, creating a different job in the queue for each page. Print jobs are always added to the bottom of the queue. When the job currently processing is complete, the spool file for that job is deleted from the hard disk, and the top-most job in the queue is then processed.

Jobs that are Òon holdÓ are displayed at the bottom of the job list in italic font. A job goes on hold when it has been canceled or when an error is detected during processing. An overall status message about the Backgrounder displays in the lower left corner of the window. The normal message is ÒAvailable,Ó indicating that the Backgrounder can process jobs immediately or add them to the queue.
