Using Background Printing
Background printing, controlled by the printer driver, allows
you to use other applications in the foreground while long
print jobs which require a long time to complete are being
executed in the background.
About background printing
The print processing method which enables you to do other tasks simultaneously while printing documents is
called “Background Printing”. Normally the printer driver performs this background printing.
The Background Printing check box in the Page Layout tab of the Printer Properties dialogue box. When
Background Printing is enabled, the BJ Background Monitor and BJ Backgrounder are launched before the
printer starts the print job. You can verify information on the print process.
When Background Printing is disabled in the Page Layout tab, the following settings cannot
be used.
