Managing Print Jobs

Managing Print Jobs on a

Macintosh

Your Macintosh printer software includes two management utilities: Monitor3 and Status Monitor. It also includes a Configuration utility for setting up print monitoring options.

◗If you’re using background printing, Monitor3 starts automatically when you send a job to the printer. It handles printing while you continue to work on your Macintosh and lets you track documents that are waiting to be printed.

◗The Status Monitor lets you see how much ink you have left.

◗The Configuration utility lets you select how you’ll be notified of printer errors and where you want print job files stored.

Using Monitor3

The Monitor3 utility lets you continue to work on your Macintosh while your document is printing. You can use Monitor3 to check or cancel any pending print jobs. It also shows the status of the job currently being printed.

If you want to use this utility, you need to turn on background printing in the Chooser and increase the memory allocation for Monitor3, as described in the next section.
