Apple Color StyleWriter 4500 - Manual (Page 31)

Printing while you use your computer
You can continue to work on your computer while printing on the
Color StyleWriter 4500. The feature that gives you this ability is called
background printing. To turn background printing on or off, follow these steps:
1 Select Chooser from the Apple (
K
) menu.
2 Click the CSW 4000 Series icon in the Chooser.
If your printer is connected to your computer by a LocalTalk connection kit,
click the CSW 4000 Series (AT) icon.
3 Click to turn background printing on or off.
4 Click the close box in the upper-left corner of the Chooser.
Once background printing is turned on, it is in effect whenever you print,
until you turn it off. When you click Print in the Print dialog box, a message
appears for a moment to tell you the document is being prepared. Once the
message disappears, you can continue other work. Your computer may pause
occasionally while it processes the document for printing. See “Monitoring
and Controlling Background Printing,” next, for more information.
Note: Printing may be slower with background printing on. If you turn
background printing off, however, you must wait for printing to finish before
you can continue your work. Any time you print with the color PhotoGrade
cartridge on PhotoGrade paper, you should turn off background printing.
