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.
Using small paper
sizes in 8 pitch
mode
Printing in 8 pitch mode provides the highest throughput speed
available —up to 154 ppm for the DP135 printer and up to 206
ppm for the DP180 printer. (The DP100 printer does not support
8-pitch mode.) However, you should 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.
