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 and More Passes settings must be the same on all pages.
