You can specify a custom size of between 182.0-2000.0mm (7.17-78.74 inches) vertically, and between 210.0-914.4mm (8.27-36.00 inches) horizontally.
For details about auto detectable paper sizes, see "Recommended Paper Sizes and Types", Paper Specifications and Adding Paper.
Paper Type: Paper Bypass
Set the display so you can see what type of paper is loaded in the paper bypass.
The paper types you can set for the paper bypass are as follows:
Do not Display, Recycled Paper, Translucent Paper, Film
Default for "Paper Type": [Do not Display]
Paper Type: Tray 1–2
Set the display so you can see what type of paper is loaded in Trays 1–2.
The print function uses this information to automatically select the paper tray.
The paper types you can set for Trays 1–2 are as follows:
Do not Display, Recycled Paper, Translucent Paper, Film
Default for "Paper Type": [Do not Display]
The lock icon is displayed next to the paper tray if [No] is selected in "Apply Auto Paper Select".
For details about the relations between possible paper sizes and thickness, see "Recommended Paper Sizes and Types", Paper Specifications and Adding Paper.
Paper Thickness: Paper Tray
Specify the thickness of paper loaded in the paper trays.
If the copy image blurs or the translucent paper loosens, changing the paper thickness level may improve results.
Plain Paper: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
Recycled Paper: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
Translucent Paper: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
Film: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
Refer to the chart below when selecting the mode for the paper thickness.

When Plain Paper is used for printing in a low-temperature environment (temperature 10 °C, humidity 15%), change the thickness level from 3 to 2.
If the paper becomes loose when "Translucent Paper" is selected with a thickness level of 2, change the thickness level to 1.
These settings do not apply for hemmed paper.
Depending on paper type, operating conditions (low temperature and humidity), and paper feeding settings (multiple copies on paper of 542 mm, 22" width or less), toner fusing conditions vary. To improve toner fusing, change the thickness level to 3 
2 1.
When using thin, soft, or limp paper, toner fusing may appear wrinkled or the image may be blurred. If this happens, change the thickness level to 3 4 5.
When level 1 or 2 are selected for translucent paper, and you change the paper type from plain or film to translucent, it may take longer for the machine to get ready for copying (up to two minutes).
When level 1 or 2 are selected for translucent paper, and you make copies on paper of size A1 or above continuously, the interval between each copying may take longer. Even if you make copy on one sheet only, it may takes 1 minute until the next copy job starts.
Paper Thickness: Paper Bypass
Specify the thickness of paper placed in the paper bypass.
If the copy image blurs or the translucent paper becomes loose, changing the paper thickness level may improve the situation.
Plain Paper: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
Recycled Paper: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
Translucent Paper: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
Film: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
For information on the available settings, see the table titled "Paper Thickness: Paper Tray."
Paper Volume
Specify the initial remaining volume of roll paper to be displayed for each paper tray.
The system monitors the amount of paper used, and automatically determines the remaining volume, based on the specified initial remaining volume.
We recommend that you specify an appropriate remaining volume each time a paper tray is loaded.
Select "New (Full)" when a paper tray is loaded with a new 150 m roll of paper.
The default setting is New (Full).
