Background printing and setting the print time

With background printing turned on, you can use your computer for other work while you’re printing. Once background printing is turned on, it is in effect whenever you print, until you turn it off. When you click Print in the Print dialog box, a message appears for a moment to tell you the document is being prepared. Once the message disappears, you can continue other work. Your computer may pause occasionally while it processes the document for printing.

When foreground printing is turned on, you must wait until the document has finished printing before you can use your computer for other work. However, your document may be sent to the printer faster when foreground printing is turned on.

You can also specify when your document should be printed in relationship to other documents that are also being printed.
