Nesting - Oce CS 5050 User Manual

Nesting

The "Nesting" function can save media by printing multiple prints across the
horizontal width of the media. It also reduces the time required to print
multiple prints.
When you enable this function, the printer accumulates HP-GL/2 files in a
"nest". Printing begins when one of the following occurs:
The "nest" is full, when no other image can fit across the media
The "Nesting Wait Time" is up. This is the length of time during which the
printer idles and waits for the current nest to fill.
The printer runs out of memory
The printer receives a print file with different print settings than those in the
"nest", such as:
Print quality
Number of passes
Print direction
Speed
Colour mode
DPI
Dry time
Margins
Wipe on/off
Media save
The following parameters do not affect nesting:
Ink limit
Reprints
Automatic rotation
Automatic cutting: if any print file in the nest has the cutter enabled, the
printer cuts automatically when the nest finishes printing.
