  • Page 110: Paper Width And Throughput Speed (Lcds Printing Only

    Supplies Paper width and throughput speed (LCDS printing only) The width of the paper you use for your LCDS print job is directly related to the rate at which the printer can print the job. The rate at which a job prints is called the “throughput speed” and is measured in pages per minute (ppm).

    Supplies Using large paper Large paper sizes with widths of 15.31 to 17 inches / 389 to 432 sizes in 3 pitch mm are supported only in 3 pitch mode and must feed short mode edge first. These paper sizes slow down the throughput speed. Therefore, a short edge feed job takes longer to print than a long edge feed job.
