Printing in the Background
Background Printing allows you to work on other documents
while printing. When Background Printing is on, the information
needed to print the document is saved in the PrintMonitor
Documents folder, a temporary folder in the System Folder on
your hard disk. This copy of the document is then sent to the
printer. Because processing a document to disk takes
significantly less time than printing a document, you regain
control of your computer sooner. However, the actual printing of
the document is slower.
If you send several documents to the printer, the spooled copies
are placed in the PrintMonitor Documents folder. Each
document is printed in the order in which it was received.
To use Background Printing, select the Chooser from the Apple
menu, select the DeskWriter 600 printer, and click the
