Using non-standard stock
Using stock of non-standard width or length in the printer may
have a negative impact on system performance. Refer to the
following table for a listing of sizes and possible resulting
impacts.
Table 7-11. Stock width impact on system performance
Stock width Impact on performance
8.67 to 9 inches (221 to 229
mm) in trays 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 Extended runs may increase the risk of
temporary background.
Increased risk of lead-edge image
deletions on each successive sheet.
Stock programming errors may go
undetected because stock width
checking is not performed.
9 inches (229 mm) to less
than 14.2 inches (361 mm)
in trays 3, 4, and 5 Image offset may occur following a
printer malfunction; for example, fuser
jams.
Running stock wider than 9 inches (229
mm) (other than 17 x 11 inches or A3)
may increase the risk of misregistration,
skew, and tray 3 elevator problems.
No performance impact for the 6155 and
6180 printer.
Table 7-12. Stock length impact on system performance
Stock length Impact on performance
Over 11 inches (279 mm) to
less than 11.7 inches (297
mm)
Over 11.7 inches (279 mm)
to less than 13 inches (330
mm)
Over 13 inches (330 mm) to
less than 14 inches (356
mm)
Over 14 inches (356 mm)
The transfer assist mechanism is preset
to optimize image transfer for the exact
stock lengths of 11 inches (279 mm),
11.7 inches (297 mm), 13 inches (330
mm), and 14 inches (356 mm). Stock
lengths falling between these exact
lengths present an increased risk for
bottom-edge deletions.
14.33 inches (B4 JIS) Background, smudging, or white spaces
may occur when printing between the 14
inch area and the edge of the paper with
the 6155 or 6180 printer.
