The Spooler and Background Printing
You can use the SuperScript 870 Spooler to print
documents in the background, to check the status of your

To use the Spooler, you need to activate Background
Printing. This allows you to continue working while your
print job is processing.

to scroll through the list of zones and printers to find
the one you want.)
3. Set Background Printing to On for that printer.
Viewing Print Status Information
Status information is available with both foreground and
background printing. During foreground printing (when
background printing is disabled), this information is
displayed in a status window. During background
printing, it is displayed in the SuperScript 870 Spooler
window.
