In order: pages are nested in the order in which they are sent to the printer. The nested pages are
printed as soon as one of three conditions is met:
◦
The next page will not fit on the same row as the other pages already nested.
◦
No page has been sent to the printer during the specified wait time.
◦
The next page is incompatible with the pages already nested (see Nest jobs to save roll paper
(T1500 series) on page 76).
●
Optimized order: pages are not necessarily nested in the order in which they are sent to the printer.
When it receives an incompatible page, the printer holds it and waits for compatible pages to complete
the nest. The nested pages are printed as soon as one of three conditions is met:
◦
The next page will not fit on the same row as the other pages already nested.
◦
No page has been sent to the printer during the specified wait time.
◦
The incompatible-page queue is full. The printer can queue up to six incompatible pages while
nesting compatible pages. If it receives a seventh incompatible page, the nest is printed as it is.
●
Off: nesting is disabled. This is the default option.
The nesting wait time can be set at the front panel: press , then , then Setup > Job management
> Nest options > Wait time.
TIP: Optimized order uses the minimum amount of paper; however, it may take longer to print because the
printer waits for compatible pages to arrive.
