Use nesting function

Only available with TM-355/TM-255/TM-5355/TM-5255.

When printing on roll paper, this function can be used to print multiple pages sequentially across the side of the paper.

Display this item by selecting the following.

(Setup) > Printer settings > Print settings > HP-GL/2 print settings > Paper settings > Nesting

• Enable

  Print data is temporarily stored as a nesting wait page, and printed in a layout that arranges the pages so they fill the width of the roll paper. Pages are aligned in the sequence they are received.

  Up to 24 pages can be aligned across the paper. Pages are laid out in the next line from the 25th page.

  Cutting is performed in accordance with the longest page among the aligned pages.

  Note

  • The desired printing results may not be obtained when HP-GL/2 data that does not include image drawing range information is received.

    In this case, select Command priority or Detected size for Detect image size.
