You can configure a workflow to create a nesting automatically when a
specified criterion has been met. When one nesting has been created, all subsequent jobs become part
of the next nesting.
Command WorkStation can create a nesting:
Note: Workflow settings override job settings. For example, if you configure the workflow for
uniform page scaling, you cannot apply a different scaling factor to an individual nested
job.
- In Server Manager: On the sidebar, click Printers, and select a printer. In the
printer's tree view, select a workflow. On the Layout tab,
expand the Nesting panel. In the panel header bar, select
the check box to activate the settings.
- Define the criterion for creating a nesting.
Command WorkStation always creates and processes the nesting
after a specified time period has elapsed, even if the minimum percentage of sheet or line cannot be
filled.
- Under Optimization and Orientation, define how jobs
are arranged on the sheet.
You can arrange nested jobs to take up as little space as possible on the sheet, or you can
arrange them so that, after printing, they can be cut out using as few straight horizontal or
vertical cuts as possible.
You can further reduce media wastage by allowing
jobs to be rotated to make better use of the available space on the sheet. Alternatively, you can
nest all jobs in their original orientation, or apply portrait or landscape format to all.
- Under Uniform
scaling, select the check box, and then type a width and height to scale all pages to
the same size (optional).
- Under Spacing, type a horizontal and vertical distance between pages (optional).
This setting takes job labels into
account.
-
Under Space around jobs (picture mount), type a border width for each
edge (optional).
This setting takes non-printable margins into account.
