Getting the Best from Nesting (Nesting and Margins)

3000CP Only

In order to “squeeze in” one more page, the printer may reduce the right margin of
the right-most page by up to 3 mm (0.08 in). This is done only if:
■ the

Size

option in the

Page format

menu is set either to a Photo option or to a

discrete standard size, and

■ the roll of media loaded is slightly narrower than a standard size.

NOTE:If you select Smaller Margins with PostScript files, the printer uses the
Normal margin settings. The HP PostScript drivers always use Extended margins
and override the front-panel settings.

Nesting and the Rotate Feature

Since nesting may automatically rotate pages, the

Rotate

setting in the

Page format

menu is ignored while nesting is on. Pages with

Smaller

margin settings are not

rotated.

NOTE:The printer’s automatic rotation does not apply to PostScript files. PostScript
files will print in the orientation in which they were sent to the printer.
