Starting to Print a File that is Waiting for a
Time-out
If all is in order (paper loaded, all ink components
installed, and no file errors), there are still reasons why
a file you have sent from your computer may not start
printing when expected:
The print file may lack a proper file terminator and
the printer is therefore waiting for the specified I/O
time-out period before assuming it is complete. See
Nesting may be on and the printer is waiting for the
specified nest wait time-out period before calculating
the appropriate nests. In this case, the printer
display shows the remaining time for the nesting
time-out. See
How Long does the Printer Wait for

HP Designjet Driver. This is a function you can use
to check if the pre-view image is the one you want.
You can check the pre-view in the WebAccess tool,
then select ‘Start print’.
