How long does the printer wait for another file?
So that the printer can make the best nest possible, it waits after receiving a file to determine whether a
subsequent page will nest with it. This waiting period  is the nest wait time; the factory default nest wait
time is 2 minutes. This means that the printer waits up to 2 minutes after the last file is received before
printing the final nest.
You can change this waiting time on the printers front panel. Select the 
 icon, and then select  Job...

Pages are nested on the roll independent of when they are submitted to the printer. An incompatible
page does not break a nest. Instead, the printer  waits for more compatible pages and queues the
incompatible pages until one  of three conditions is met:
● The nest is full, meaning that the remaining length of paper on the roll is too small to
accommodate the next page submitted
● The nesting timeout elapses
● The incompatible-page queue is full. The printer queues up to six incompatible pages while it...

To print crop lines for multiple jobs printed with the nesting feature through the Embedded Web Server:
1 . Go to the Printer Settings page on the  Setup tab.
2 . Select  Printer settings  > Job management  and then select Yes from the  Nest drop-down menu.
3 . Go to the Submit Job  page on the Main tab.
4 . In the Job Settings  tree, select Advanced settings  > Roll options , and then select  Yes from
the  Enable crop lines  drop-down menu.

Use paper economically
Here are some recommendations for making economical use of paper:
● If you are printing more than one job, consider 
nesting the jobs. Nesting means placing pages side-
by-side on the paper, rather than one after the other. See 
Nest jobs to save paper on page 98 .
● You might be able to save some...

Use the front panel
To change the graphic language setting, select the  icon, and then select Printing preferences
>  Select graphics language, where the following options are available.
●
Select  Automatic  to allow the printer determine which type of  file it is receiving. This setting works
for most software programs.
● Select PS  if you are printing only PostScript files, and if your PostScript jobs do not start with the
standard PostScript header (%!PS) and do  not include PJL language-switching...

Color management
 

What is color?
We see the world around us as steeped in color. Color is in the first instance simply an aspect of how we
experience our environment and is th erefore subjective. Our color experiences are closely related to brain
activity that is triggered by signals that our eyes  send to it. These signals undergo a complex and highly
interlinked sequence of processing stages that make the relationship between what our eyes emit and
what we experience anything but direct. The signals  sent by the eye...

Color spaces are only methods of controlling different color-imaging devices. They do not describe colors
directly. The same CMYK values, for example, create di fferent colors when sent to different printers that
use different inks and paper types. For example, consid er a printer that can use indoor inks or outdoor
inks. The printer (hardware) is the same, but it has tw o different color gamuts due to the different chemistry
of the inks (dye-based versus pigm ented). Furthermore, they need to work with...

The solution: color management
Many colors from an RGB-controlled device cannot be reproduced in a CMYK-controlled device, and vice
versa. These colors are called “out-of-gamut” colors.
1 . Describe the color behavior of a device as  accurately as possible by using an ICC
profile.  The color behavior of a device can be  described by taking various RGB or CMYK
combinations, sending them to a de vice, measuring the resulting output, and expressing it in a device-
independent color space (for example, CIE...

The following are the most commonly used device color spaces and profiles:
● RGB mode:
●
sRGB (sRGB IEC61966-2.1):  for images that typically originate from consumer digital
cameras and scanners and from the Web
● Adobe® RGB (1998):  for images that typically originate  from professional digital cameras
● Specific RGB device space:  for images that are coming from or going to a specific RGB
device that has been profiled
● CMYK mode:
