What pages can be nested?

All pages can be nested, unless they are so large that two of them cannot fit side by side on the roll, or unless there are too many of them to fit into the remaining length of the roll. A single group of nested pages cannot be split between two rolls.

Which pages qualify for nesting?

In order to be in the same nest, the individual pages must be compatible in all of the following ways:

●All pages must have the same print quality setting (Economode, Fast, Normal, or Best).

●The Maximum Detail setting must be the same on all pages.

●The Layout/Margins setting must be the same for all pages.

●The Mirror Image setting must be the same for all pages.

●The Rendering Intent must be the same for all pages.

●The Cutter setting must be the same for all pages.

●The color adjustment settings must be the same for all pages. See Color adjustment options on page 77.

●Pages must be all color, or all grayscale: not some in color and some in grayscale.

●All pages must be in one or other of the following two groups (the two groups cannot be mixed in the same nest):

●HP-GL/2, RTL, CALS/G4

●PostScript, PDF, TIFF, JPEG

●JPEG, TIFF, and CALS/G4 pages with resolutions greater than 300 dpi may not nest with other pages in some cases.

How long does the printer wait for another file?

So that the printer can make the best nest possible, it waits after a file has been received to check whether a subsequent page will nest with it or with pages already in the queue. This waiting period is the nest wait time; the factory default nest wait time is two minutes. This means that the printer waits for up to two minutes after the last file is received before printing the final nest. You can change this

waiting time from the printer's front panel: select the Setup menu icon , then Job management options > Nest options > Select wait time. The available range is 1 to 99 minutes.

While the printer is waiting for nesting to time out, it displays the remaining time on the front panel. You can print the nest (cancel the nest wait) by pressing the Form feed and cut key.

Use ink economically

Here are some recommendations for making economical use of ink.

●For draft prints, use plain paper and move the print-quality slider to the left end of the scale ('Speed'). For further economy, select custom print quality options, then select Fast and Economode.

●Clean the printheads only when needed, and clean only those printheads that need cleaning. Cleaning the printheads can be useful, but it uses a small amount of ink.
