Paper Width And Printer Performance - Xerox 180 System Overview Manual

Paper width and printer performance

XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE
•
Perforated paper
•
Pre-cut or full tabs
•
Carbonless paper.
Note: The 96/4635/180 printer can print on precollated or ordered
stocks, including ordered tabs. However, jam recovery is not
supported with these stocks.
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). You will want to keep in mind the following
information on the relationship of paper width to printer performance,
when selecting paper for your applications.
The printer operates in different pitch modes. The pitch mode the
printer uses for a specific print job is based on the paper size on
which that job is printed. The following tables list the pitch mode
boundary values, paper widths, and related printing speeds
supported on the 96/4635/180 printer. These charts show that the
shorter the paper width, the higher the pitch mode and the faster the
throughput speed—higher pages per minute (ppm) rate. ("Pages per
minute" is synonymous with "impressions per minute.")
