How to use nesting
Here are some general guidelines for using nesting:
●
To enable nesting, use the front panel (Job Management menu) or the Embedded Web Server (Setup
tab).
●
If you are working with batches of jobs with the same format, choose nesting In order. This will close
the nest as the first file with a new format arrives.
●
If you are working with mixed file formats, choose nesting Optimized. This option will nest compatible
pages in the queue, allowing for a gap of up to 3 incompatible pages before closing the nest (See
nesting compatibility below).
●
For the jobs you want nested together, choose common values you will be using and create presets. You
can use the Embedded Web Server's Manage Presets tab to save your presets.
NOTE: If you have a multiroll printer with nesting enabled, your printer will do its best to save paper. This
means that the roll on which less paper is wasted will be chosen regardless of the roll switching option you
have selected (see
Roll switching options on page 24).
NOTE: The printer will nest up to eight compatible jobs in a row.
TIP: Use the paper mismatch action Print anyway to minimize paper waste by skipping paper source or
paper type restrictions. For a more fine-grained nesting of jobs based on desired paper source or type, use
the Put job on hold paper mismatch action.
TIP: If you have a roll that is expensive or for special purposes only, use roll protection so that jobs with
unspecified paper type and source will not be able to use your special roll (see
Roll protection on page 88).
Nesting wait time
When a job is ready to print, if Nesting is enabled, the printer will wait for more jobs to arrive in order to nest
them together. You can change this waiting time from the front panel: select the Setup menu icon
, then
Job management options > Nest options > Select wait time.
