Pages must be all color, or all grayscale: not some in color and some in grayscale.

All pages must be in one or other of the following two groups (the two groups cannot be mixed
in the same nest):

HP-GL/2, RTL, CALS G4

PostScript, PDF, TIFF, JPEG

JPEG, TIFF, and CALS G4 pages with resolutions greater than 300 dpi may not nest with other
pages in some cases.

How long does the printer wait for another file?

So that the printer can make the best nest possible, it waits after a file has been received to check
whether a subsequent page will nest with it or with pages already in the queue. This waiting period is
the nest wait time; the factory default nest wait time is two minutes. This means that the printer waits
for up to two minutes after the last file is received before printing the final nest. You can change this
waiting time from the printer's front panel: select the

icon, then Job management options > Nest

options > Select wait time. The available range is 1 to 99 minutes.

While the printer is waiting for nesting to time out, it displays the remaining time on the front panel.
You can print the nest (cancel the nest wait) by pressing the Cancel key.
