Avoiding Paper Waste by Nesting Pages 31
Avoiding Paper Waste by Nesting Pages
Nesting can only be used with roll paper.
Nesting means placing pages side-by-side on the
paper (rather than one after the other), to avoid
wasting paper.
The Printer Tries to Nest Pages When...
• The printer is loaded with roll paper rather
than sheet paper; and
• In the front-panel menus,
Queue is On (the
default). See page 27, Managing Pages that
have Not Yet been Printed; and
• In the front-panel menus,
Nest is On (that is,
set to a value from 1 to 99 minutes). See page
32, Turning Nesting On and Off.
To be in the Same Nest, Pages Must Satisfy
All the Following Conditions...
• All must be Color or all Grayscale.
Grayscale may include a color page rendered
in grayscale.
• All must be at the same dots-per-inch setting.
• All have the same print quality setting (Best,
Normal, Draft).
• All have the same Margin sizes.
• All must be HP-GL/2 prints or all PostScript.
• All must have the same Page accuracy.
Nesting does not cause any automatic rotation of
pages.
