Page Size and Clipped Plots

If you specify in your software a page size that is larger than the media size loaded in the plotter, the plotter will still print what it can, but may clip your plot.

A2 media in the plotter

Clipped area

A1 page size in software or front panel

Page Size and Nesting (Roll Media Only)

Nesting means placing two or more plots side-by-side on a roll to save media. There are certain cases when your plots will not be nested, for a complete explanation of nesting see page 6-10.

If you have queueing and nesting switched on, the plotter will use the page size to determine which plots are nested and whether the plots can be automatically rotated when nesting.
