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 Setup menu 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 Form feed and cut key.
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. Even if
sleep mode is enabled, the printer will wake up automatically to perform the printhead maintenance
procedures to keep them in good health.
●
Printing jobs in landscape format uses ink more efficiently than printing in portrait. The job will also be
printed more quickly as less printhead passes are required. As the frequency of printhead maintenance
procedures is related to the number of passes, fewer passes will mean fewer maintenance procedures
that the printer takes time to prepare and uses ink to perform. Therefore, nesting jobs can save ink as
well as saving paper (see
Nest jobs to save paper on page 91).
TIP: You are strongly recommended to leave the printer always on or in sleep mode, whenever possible, to
maintain the health of the printheads.
