Collating
Collating is a method of gathering various outputs and grouping
them together.
Nesting
• Enable Automatic Nesting – Set the queue to nest jobs
automatically when the configured conditions (such as
Maximum Wait Time) are met.
• Auto Rotate When Nesting – Enable auto rotation when
nesting occurs. If this is enabled, make sure the option in the
Pagesetup is set to None. There is no need to spend processing time rotating a job if it is rotated at nesting
time.
• Copies – Specify the number of copies you want to nest. For example, if you have 7 jobs making up a nest and
enter 5 in the copies field, you will get 5 copies of the same 7 jobs nested and printed.
• Maximum Wait Time – Specify how long to wait before nesting begins. Once reached, nesting will begin and
any job waiting to nest will be nested into a single job. The start time is determined by the first job that appears
waiting to nest.
• Minimum Paper Coverage – Specify the minimum paper coverage to be reached by jobs waiting to nest before
nesting will begin. Once reached, any waiting jobs will be nested into a single job.
• Maximum Jobs – Specify the maximum number of jobs in a nest. If there are more jobs in the queue than the
number specified, that number of jobs will nest and the remaining jobs will stay waiting to nest until the
criteria is met again.
• Media Width – Specify the media width. This is required for nesting to work.
• Gap Between Jobs – Enter the size of the gap between jobs in the nest.
• Minimum Total Height – Specify the minimum total height of a nest, i.e., if the combined height of the jobs
waiting to nest reaches this value, nesting will begin.
• Maximum Total Height -­‐ Specify the maximum total height of a nest, i.e., if the combined height of the jobs
waiting to nest reaches this value, nesting will begin.
Note: If a Maximum Height is set, the Nesting algorithm will look at all the jobs waiting to nest and fit the most jobs
between the minimum and maximum heights. If the available jobs can not cover the defined Paper Coverage (if set) of
paper without exceeding the maximum height, jobs will not nest. If no Paper Coverage minimum is set, any job that
would make the nest exceed the maximum height will be left in the queue -­‐ the other jobs will be nested. Any single job
exceeding the Maximum Height will also not print. If a job is too large, either the nesting parameters and/or the
printing media but be changed. This makes it possible to effectively and efficiently nest using Cut Sheet media.
