The FARGO

Backgrounder

automatically open and close with the start and finish of each print job. To manually open Backgrounder, double click on the Print Backgrounder icon within the Extensions folder.

With the Backgrounder turned on in the Chooser, select Print from the File menu to print your image. A message appears telling you the image is being spooled to disk for Background/Later processing. Once the message disappears, background processing has begun and your application is free to be used for other work. Once Backgrounder has processed the print job and PrimeraPro is actually printing, be sure not to do things that will tie up your system for a long period of time (i.e., load large images into an application, launch a large application, format a disk, etc.). Such action will affect print quality.

The print job is processed automatically by the Backgrounder. Other documents can be printed and, in turn, will be processed by Backgrounder. While Backgrounder is running, you can quit the current application and start another without disturbing your print jobs. Backgrounder processes all print jobs in the order in which they were sent to the printer.

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.
