HP Designjet Z6100 Printer Series - Quick Reference Guide

compatible pages are in the queue. This means that a higher probability exists
that the paper will not be used efficiently.
● Optimized order
Pages are nested on the roll independent of when they are submitted to the
printer. An incompatible page does not break a nest. Instead, the printer waits
for more compatible pages and queues the incompatible pages until one of
three conditions is met:
●
The nest is full, meaning that the remaining length of paper on the roll is
too small to accommodate the next page submitted
●
The nesting timeout elapses
●
The incompatible-page queue is full. The printer queues up to six
incompatible pages while it nests compatible pages. Upon receiving the
seventh incompatible page, the nest is broken and printed. Then the pages
in the incompatible-page queue print.

How job compatibility
is defined on page 47.
The advantage of Optimized order nesting is that it typically wastes less paper
because the nest is not broken when an incompatible page is submitted. The
disadvantage is the overall printing time is typically longer because the printer
waits for compatible pages.
NOTE: Pages might not be printed in the order that the were submitted
to the printer when the Optimized order option is selected.
How job compatibility is defined
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.
●
The Maximum Detail setting must be the same on all pages.
●
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.
●
Pages must be all color or all grayscale. The pages cannot be a mix of color
and grayscale.
