Nesting Pages
What is Nesting?
Nesting means placing pages side-by-side on the
paper (rather than one after the other), to avoid wasting
paper.
Refer to Which Pages Qualify for Nesting?
Automatic Rotation only with HP-GL/2 Files
Rotate an Image with nesting on?
The printer may automatically rotate a page in nesting.
It may do this even with a single page.
Since nesting may automatically rotate pages, the
Rotate setting in the Page format menu is ignored while
nesting is on.
