Each time a job requires a different paper size that changes across a pitch boundary, the system performs a time-consuming xerographic quality adjustment. When the printing speed of an LCDS job appears to degrade due to the use of mixed stock sizes, the following actions may improve the performance:

•You can optimize throughput by double clicking on a job in Job Manager or double clicking on a queue in Queue Manager and selecting Properties. The Output tab has a Mixed Stock Size Job window where you can select Optimize throughput. You must also enter the width of the widest paper in inches or millimeters for the job.

•The job programmer may be able to improve the speed by using the LCDS PDL command OUTPUT TMODE in the JSL to run the print job in a lower pitch mode. Refer to the OUTPUT TMODE parameter in the Xerox Document Services Platform Using LCDS Print Description Language for information on using this command.

•Similarly, if the system cycles down frequently because your external finishing equipment has a slower throughput rate than the printing system, the OUTPUT TMODE command can be used to lower the pitch mode to match the speed of the finishing equipment. This can improve overall throughput by avoiding time-consuming cycle downs.

NOTE: Pitch mode changes are supported only for LCDS printing.

Paper size and pitch mode minimum and maximum

The illustrations in this section show the pitch modes in which you can operate, with the smallest and largest size papers supported by the printing system.
