HP DesignJet T790 and T1300 Printer Series - Using your printer

●
The printer is loaded with roll paper, not sheet paper.
●
The printer's Nest option is turned on. See Turn nesting on and o (T1300 series) on page 23.
What pages can be nested?
All pages can be nested, unless they are so large that two of them cannot t side by side on the roll, or unless
there are too many of them to t into the remaining length of the roll. A single group of nested pages cannot be
split between two rolls.
Which pages qualify for nesting?
In order to be in the same nest, the individual pages must be compatible in all of the following ways:
●
All pages must have the same print quality setting (Economode, Fast, Normal or Best).
●
The Maximum Detail setting must be the same on all pages.
●
The Layout/Margins setting must be the same for all pages.
●
The Mirror Image setting must be the same for all pages.
●
The Rendering Intent must be the same for all pages.
●
The Cutter setting must be the same for all pages.
●
The color adjustment settings must be the same for all pages. See Color adjustment options on page 73.
●
Pages must be all color, or all grayscale: not some in color and some in grayscale.
●
All pages must be in one or other of the following two groups (the two groups cannot be mixed in the same
nest):
—
HP-GL/2, RTL, TIFF, JPEG
—
PostScript, PDF
●
JPEG and TIFF pages with resolutions greater than 300 dpi may not nest with other pages in some cases.
How long does the printer wait for another le?
So that the printer can make the best nest possible, it waits after a le has been received to check whether a
subsequent page will nest with it or with pages already in the queue. This waiting period is the nest wait time;
the factory default nest wait time is 2 minutes. This means that the printer waits for up to 2 minutes after the
last le is received before printing the nal nest. You can change this waiting time from the printer's front panel:
press , then , then Setup > Job management options > Nest options > Select wait time. The available
range is 1 to 99 minutes.
While the printer is waiting for nesting to time out, it displays the remaining time on the front panel.
Use ink economically
Here are some recommendations for making economical use of ink.
●
For draft prints, use plain paper and move the print-quality slider to the left end of the scale ('Speed'). For
further economy, select custom print quality options, then select Fast and Economode.
●
Clean the printheads only when needed, and clean only those printheads that need cleaning. Cleaning the
printheads can be useful, but it uses a small amount of ink.
