About Pitch

The Xerox Nuvera is equipped with a variable pitch Xerographic belt. Pitch refers to the number of page images that can be placed on the belt, which are then transferred to the paper. During printing, the system senses paper sizes requested, and optimizes the use of the belt and the paper path to ensure maximum productivity.

Paper Size/Pitch Relationships

The charts below illustrate the expected system throughput, given a certain page/ image size.
