TIP: Use the paper mismatch action Print anyway to minimize paper waste by skipping paper source or paper type restrictions. For a more fine-grained nesting of jobs based on desired paper source or type, use the Put job on hold paper mismatch action. TIP: If you have a roll that is expensive or for special purposes only, use roll protection so that jobs with unspecified paper type and source will not be able to use your special roll (see Roll protection on page 91). Nesting wait time When a job is ready to print, if Nesting is enabled, the printer will wait for more jobs to arrive in order to nest them together. You can change this waiting time from the front panel: select the Setup menu icon , then Job management options > Nest options > Select wait time. Print options You can also cancel nest waiting by pressing the Form feed and cut key on the front panel. Nesting compatibility Because nested pages must be printed all at the same time, they are required to share a common printing format before they can be nested together. If you routinely work with one or two file formats, and print most of your jobs with the same settings, you don't need to take any extra action to ensure nesting compatibility. Otherwise, if you want to minimize paper waste using nesting: ● Save your settings in presets, using the Embedded Web Server's Manage presets tab. You can save: ◦ ◦ ◦ ● Print-quality settings (Print quality, Max detail, More passes) Color and color adjustment settings (see Color adjustment options on page 97) Layout and mechanical settings (Margins, Mirror, Cutter) All pages must be in one or other of the following three groups (a single nest must contain members of only one group): ◦ ◦ ◦ TIFF and JPEG, which can nest together even with different input profiles PostScript and PDF HP-GL/2 using the same color space (sRGB/aRGB/dRGB) NOTE: CALS/G4 pages do not nest. NOTE: JPEG and TIFF pages with resolutions greater than 300 dpi may not nest with other pages in some cases. 90 Chapter 8 Print options ENWW 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. Wide prints make more efficient use of ink than narrow prints, because printhead maintenance uses some ink, and its frequency is related to the number of passes made by the printheads. Therefore, nesting jobs can save ink as well as saving paper (see Nest jobs to save paper on page 89). [. . . ] Therefore, to prevent damage some precautions are needed when setting up the product, or handling ESD sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectan+cy of the device. One way to minimize uncontrolled ESDs, and therefore reduce this type of damage is by touching any exposed grounded part of the product (mainly metal parts) before handling ESD sensitive devices (such as the printheads or ink cartridges). Additionally, to reduce the generation of electrostatic charge in your body try to avoid working in a carpeted area, and keep your body movements to a minimum when handling ESD sensitive devices.
