Stop Processing: Stops the FARGO Backgrounder from processing any jobs, although it will still receive them and add them to the queue. A dialog box is displayed if Stop Processing is selected while Backgrounder is processing a job, asking when the job should be put on hold. The Backgrounder status box in the lower-left corner of the window indicates that Backgrounder has stopped.

You cannot quit from Backgrounder while it is processing a job. Stop Processing must first be selected to cancel the processing job and stop Backgrounder. When Backgrounder stops, the menu changes to Continue Processing. When selected, the server starts processing the top job in the queue.

Preferences: Presents a dialog box containing options for fine-tuning the FARGO Backgrounder. Background printing priority determines how much time the Mac spends processing the image, and how much time it spends in the foreground application (interpreting mouse clicks, key presses etc.). When the priority is set to High, Backgrounder processes the image faster, but the foreground application may become less responsive. With the priority set to Low, Backgrounder takes longer to process the image, yet the responsiveness of the other applications is improved.
