E.FARGO Backgrounder Menus
The list of queued jobs displays below the current job in the order in which they were sent to the printer. Some applications, however, may put each page of the document into a separate spool file, creating a different job in the queue for each page. Print jobs are always added to the bottom of the queue. When the job currently processing is complete, the spool file for that job is deleted from the hard disk, and the
Jobs that are Òon holdÓ are displayed at the bottom of the job list in italic font. A job goes on hold when it has been canceled or when an error is detected during processing. An overall status message about the Backgrounder displays in the lower left corner of the window. The normal message is ÒAvailable,Ó indicating that the Backgrounder can process jobs immediately or add them to the queue.
File menu
Open Status Window and Close Status Window: Opens and closes the Backgrounder status window. The FARGO Backgrounder continues to work if the status window is closed.
Log Files: The FARGO Backgrounder has the ability to create and maintain a sequential history file, or Log file, of Backgrounder print jobs. This Log file can be enabled and manipulated with the following commands on the File menu:
New Log File: Selects a new file in which to maintain your ongoing Backgrounder printing log.
Save Copy of Log as: Saves the current Log file to a new file name or location of your specification.
Start Recording Log: Begins logging print history. Before the Log file is started, you are asked to specify a Log file in which to save your processed print job entries. When logging begins, this option dims.
Stop Recording Log: Stops logging print history. This option dims once print logging stops.
Get Info: Provides additional information about the currently selected print job. Click on the processing job or any job in the queue, before selecting Get Info.
