Installation Planning Guide A-5
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, you may be able to improve the speed by using the LCDS
OUTPUT command TMODE parameter in the JSL to run the
print job in a lower pitch mode. Refer to the OUTPUT TMODE
parameter in Using LCDS Print Description Language for
information on using this LCDS command.
Similarly, if the system cycles down frequently because your
external finishing equipment has a slower throughput rate than
the printing system, you can use the TMODE parameter of the
LCDS OUTPUT command 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.
