Which 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 (Fast, Normal, or Best).
●
Pages must be all Optimized for Drawings/Text or all Optimized for Images.
● The Maximum Detail setting must be the same on all pages.
● The Margins setting must be the same for all pages (Extended or Normal).
●
The Mirror 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. These are known as Advanced
Color Settings in the Windows driver, and CMYK Settings in the Mac OS driver.
● 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
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 Cancel key.
