Overview
Using small paper
sizes in 8 pitch
mode
Printing in 8 pitch mode provides the highest throughput speed
available (up to 206 ppm). However, keep the following in mind
when you select the paper you want to use for this mode:
• Paper sizes smaller than 8 inches / 203 mm in width are
supported only when the optional 7 inch paper kit is installed
on the printer.
• The leading edge of any paper used in the printer cannot be
less than 10 inches / 254 mm long.
The following figure illustrates the maximum and minimum paper
sizes supported in 8 pitch mode.

Using large paper
sizes in 3 pitch
mode
Large paper sizes with widths of 15.31 to 17 inches / 389 to 432
mm are supported only in 3 pitch mode and must feed short 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.
NOTE: The system 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. Heavy (110 pound / 200 gsm) and light (16 pound / 60 gsm)
weight papers can cause jams throughout the system, and are not
recommended.
The following figure illustrates the maximum and minimum paper
sizes supported in 3 pitch mode.
