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.
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.

Currently, 14.33 inches / 364 mm is the maximum paper length for which the system supports long edge feeding (5 to 8 pitch mode). Any papers with long edges greater than this (such as 11 by 17 inch / 279 by 432 mm paper) must be loaded for short edge feeding (3 or 4 pitch mode).
