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. You can also cancel nest waiting by pressing the Form feed and cut key on the front panel. Nesting compatibility Because nested pages must be printed all at the same time, they are required to share a common printing format before they can be nested together. If you routinely work with one or two file formats, and print most of your jobs with the same settings, you don't need to take any extra action to ensure nesting compatibility. Otherwise, if you want to minimize paper waste using nesting: ● Save your settings in presets, using the Embedded Web Server's Manage presets tab. You can save: - Print-quality settings (Print quality, Max detail, More passes) - Color and color adjustment settings (see Color adjustment options on page 91) - Layout and mechanical settings (Margins, Mirror, Cutter) ● All pages must be in one or other of the following three groups (a single nest must contain members of only one group): - TIFF and JPEG, which can nest together even with different input profiles - PostScript and PDF - HP-GL/2 using the same color space (sRGB/aRGB/dRGB) NOTE: CALS/G4 pages do not nest. NOTE: JPEG and TIFF pages with resolutions greater than 300 dpi may not nest with other pages in some cases. Use ink economically Here are some recommendations for making economical use of ink. ● For draft prints, use plain paper and move the print-quality slider to the left end of the scale ('Speed'). For further economy, select custom print quality options, then select Fast and EconoMode. ● Clean the printheads only when needed, and clean only those printheads that need cleaning. Cleaning the printheads can be useful, but it uses ink. ● Leave the printer permanently turned on so that it can maintain the printheads in good condition automatically. This regular printhead maintenance uses a small amount of ink. However, if it is not done, the printer may need to use much more ink later to restore the health of the printheads. ● Wide prints make more efficient use of ink than narrow prints, because printhead maintenance uses some ink, and its frequency is related to the number of passes made by the printheads. Therefore, nesting jobs can save ink as well as saving paper (see Nest jobs to save paper on page 84). 86 Chapter 9 Print options ENWW
