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. The 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.
