You can set the printer's behavior in such cases from the front panel. ● Press , then Job management options > Paper mismatch action > Print anyway if you want such jobs to print on whatever paper is loaded. This is the default option when printing from a software application or from the Embedded Web Server; but it does not work when printing from a USB flash drive. ● Press , then Job management options > Paper mismatch action > Put job on hold if you want such jobs to be put on hold. The printer will send an alert whenever a job is put on hold. When a job is put on hold for paper, it is kept in the printer queue until some suitable paper is loaded, after which you can visit the queue and choose to resume printing it. Meanwhile, other jobs with different requirements can continue printing.

If this option is chosen, the printer will choose the roll that has the least paper. NOTE: This option is effective only if you have enabled Printing paper info (see Printing paper info on page 62). Otherwise, it has the same effect as Minimize paper waste.

To turn nesting on or off, you must first make sure that the job queue is enabled (see Turn off the job queue on page 94 or Turn off the job queue on page 98) and the start of printing is set to After Processing (see Select when to print a job in the queue on page 93 or Select when to print a job in the queue on page 96).
