The printer prints all the pages in the queue before accepting any more files. As soon as you turn queueing off, the nesting setting also changes to off. When queueing is turned on again, the printer restores nesting to its previous setting.How Long does the Printer Wait for Another File?So that the printer can make the best nest possible, it waits after a file has been received to check if a subsequent page will nest with it or with pages already in the queue. This waiting period is the nest wait time factory default nest wait time is two minutes. This means that the printer waits for up to two minutes after the last file is received before printing the final nest. You can change this waiting time using the front panel menu. The available range is 1 to 99 minutes. While the printer is waiting for nesting to time out, it displays the remaining time in the front-panel display. You can print the nest (cancel the nest wait) by pressing the Form Feed and Cut key .
