  • Page 39: Paper Width And Printer Performance

    The width of the paper you use for your print job is directly related to the rate at which the 96, 4635, and 180 printer can print a job. The rate at which a job prints is the throughput speed and is measured in pages per minute (ppm).
  • Page 40 Printing in 8-pitch mode provides the highest throughput speed available —up to 154 ppm for the 4635 printer and up to 206 ppm for the 180 printer. (The 96 printer does not support 8-pitch mode.) However, you should keep the following in mind when you select the paper you want to use for this mode: •...
  • Page 41 These paper sizes slow down the throughput speed (as shown in tables above). Note: The 96/4635/180 printer can support 14 by 17-inch / 356 by 432 mm, 20 pound or 80 gsm paper stock in 3-pitch mode. However, printing performance is not guaranteed for all types of paper of this size.
