E. PROBLEMS DURING A BACKGROUND PRINT
Errors that are detected during a background print must be reported. The Backgrounder, however, cannot simply present a dialog box as soon as the error occurs, since the dialog could obscure work that is being done in the foreground. Error dialogs appear immediately, however, if the Backgrounder is in the foreground when the error is detected.
If operating in the background, Backgrounder stops processing until it is brought to the front. When Backgrounder detects an error, it beeps and visually indicates an error condition. This error condition is signaled by alternately flashing between the Application menu and the Backgrounder icon. A small diamond symbol is also displayed next to the Backgrounder icon within the Application menu.
Complete and save any work in the foreground application before bringing the Backgrounder to the front. Once Backgrounder is in the foreground, the error dialog displays and processing continues or is canceled. Some errors force Backgrounder to stop processing all jobs.
