G. Tips for Using

FARGO Backgrounder

Memory Usage

The FARGO Backgrounder processes documents faster if it is given more memory in which to operate. You can change the amount of memory used by Backgrounder by clicking on the Backgrounder icon and selecting Get Info from the File menu. Type the desired amount of allocated memory into the box in the lower, right-hand corner (this is not possible while Backgrounder is running). Remember that increasing the memory for Backgrounder decreases the amount available to the other programs.

NOTE

You should start Backgrounder before starting any other applications. The remaining memory is then available in a single block, rather than in smaller, segmented blocks.

Batch Printing

When configured properly, the FARGO Backgrounder can be used to process a large print run when the computer is not normally in use (for example, during a lunch break or overnight). This type of printing is called ÒbatchÓ printing. To create a batch print, simply print the required print jobs with the Background/Later option of the Print dialog box selected. Do this, however, without actually starting the Backgrounder.

Spool files are stored on the hard disk and remain on disk even when Backgrounder is not running. Backgrounder looks for new spool files each time it is started and adds any that it finds to the list of queued print jobs. When you choose to process the batch of spool files, start the Backgrounder. Backgrounder then locates and automatically processes all new print jobs.
