Apple 12/600PS manual Using the Apple Printer Utility

mTo indicate that a print request is urgent, select its title or icon (by clicking it), then choose Set Print Time from the Printing menu. In the dialog box that opens, click Urgent. This moves the print request to the top of your list.

mTo indicate that a print request should not print until a future time, select its title or icon (by clicking it), then choose Set Print Time from the Printing menu. In the dialog box that opens, click At Time, then set the time you want.

mTo change the order of the items waiting to print, move their place in the list by dragging their titles up or down in the list.

mTo sort the list of documents waiting to print, click the title of the column you want to sort by. For example, to sort by the name of the document, click Document Name. (You can also sort by choosing the commands in the View menu.) The column title you sorted by is underlined. Sorting the items does not change the order in which they will print. To see that order, sort by Print Time.

mTo temporarily stop all documents from printing on this printer, choose Stop Print Queue from the Printing menu. To resume using the printer, choose Start Print Queue from the Printing menu. If you’re using a PowerBook, this can be a good way to save print requests while you’re on the road until you get back to your printer.

Shortcut: If you click the printer’s desktop icon to select it, you can choose the commands that start and stop the print queue from the Printing menu without opening the window for the printer.

mTo move a print request from one printer to another printer of the same type, drag the icon for the print request (spool file) to the icon of the printer where you want to move it. If you’re not sure whether the two printers are of the same type, try moving the print request anyway—the printer software won’t let you move a print request to an incompatible printer.

3 To continue working while documents print, click on a desktop window or your desktop.
