◦The Print document on option adjusts the image size to the paper size you have selected.
For example, if you have selected ISO A2 as the paper size and you print an A3-sized image,
it is enlarged to fit the A2 paper. If the ISO A4 paper size is selected, the printer reduces a
larger image to fit the A4 size.

If you print your 16-bit color images through a printer driver, they will be reduced to 8-bit colors before
they reach the printer.
In order to send a 16-bit color image to the printer, you must save it as a 16-bit color TIFF or JPEG file,
then send the file directly to the printer without using a printer driver (see 
Using the Embedded Web
Server to print files on page 46). In this case, color management is done on the 16-bit color image, and
is therefore done more accurately. The image is still reduced...

Use paper economically
Here are some recommendations for making economical use of paper:
●If you are printing relatively small images or document pages, you can use nesting to print them
side by side instead of one after another. See 
Nest jobs to save roll paper on page 59.
●If you are printing multipage documents with relatively small pages, you can print up to 16 of them
on one sheet of paper. Use the Pages per sheet option in the Features tab (Windows driver) or
the Layout panel (Mac OS driver).
●You...

When does the printer try to nest pages?
When both of the following are true:
●The printer is loaded with roll paper, not sheet paper.
●In the front panels Job Management menu or the Embedded Web Servers Job Management
page, Nest is On.
What pages can be nested?
All pages can be nested, unless they are so large that two of them cannot fit side by side on the roll, or
unless there are too many of them to fit into the remaining length of the roll. A single group of nested
pages cannot be split between two...
