ColorSync Support Macintosh system support for ColorSync System 7.0.1 System 7.0 and earlier Supports ColorSync Does not support ColorSync Background Printing The background printing option enables you to work on other documents while printing. When background printing is on, a copy of your document is saved in the PrintMonitor Documents folder, a temporary folder in the Systems folder on your hard disk. This copy is then sent to the printer. Although background printing lets you regain control of your computer sooner; the actual printing of the document is slower. If you send several documents to the printer, a queue forms in the PrintMonitor Documents folder. Documents print in the order received. To use background printing, select the Chooser from the Apple menu, select the printer you are using, and turn on background printing.
