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).
NOTE: “Pages per minute” actually means “impressions per minute,” referring to one side of a printed sheet.
A pitch is the amount time the printer takes to image a page on the photoreceptor belt. The term “pitch mode” refers to the number of pitches that can occur during one complete photoreceptor revolution. The pitch mode in which a specific job prints is based on the paper size used for that job.
The following tables list the pitch mode boundary values, paper widths, and related printing speeds for the system. Notice that the shorter the paper width, the higher the pitch mode and the faster the throughput speed (higher page per minute rate).
