Managing Print Jobs on a
Macintosh
Your Macintosh printer software includes two management utilities: Monitor2 and Status Monitor.
◗If you’re using background printing, Monitor2 starts automatically when you send a job to the printer. It handles background printing while you continue to work on your Macintosh and lets you track documents that are waiting to be printed.
◗The Status Monitor alerts you to any problems that occur during printing. You can also use it at any time to see how much ink you have left.
Using Monitor2
The Monitor2 utility lets you continue to work on your Macintosh while your document is printing. However, background printing is slower and may also slow down your system.
