to avoid wasting paper.

When does the printer try to nest pages?

When both of the following are true:

The printer is loaded with roll paper, not sheet paper.

In the front panel's Job Management menu or the Embedded Web Server's Device Setup page,
Nest is On.

Which pages can be nested?

All pages can be nested, unless they are so large that two of them cannot fit side by side on the roll,
or unless there are too many of them to fit into the remaining length of the roll. A single group of
nested pages cannot be split between two rolls.

Which pages qualify for nesting?

In order to be in the same nest, the individual pages must be compatible in all of the following ways:

All pages must have the same print quality setting (Fast, Normal, or Best).

Pages must be all Optimized for Drawings/Text or all Optimized for Images.

The Maximum Detail setting must be the same on all pages.

The Margins setting must be the same for all pages (Extended or Normal).

The Mirror setting must be the same for all pages.

The Rendering Intent must be the same for all pages.

The Cutter setting must be the same for all pages.

The color adjustment settings must be the same for all pages. These are known as Advanced
Color Settings in the Windows driver, and CMYK Settings in the Mac OS driver.
