manage prints 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. Avoiding Paper Waste by Nesting Pages 31
