When copying with a non-standard size paper from the Tray 5 (bypass), you must manually
enter the paper size. If you use non-standard size paper often, you can preset the size on
the machine. Then the preset size appears under [Standard Sizes] in the [Tray 5 (Bypass)]
screen. For more information, refer to "Tray 5 - Paper Size Defaults" (P.95).

When sheets such as postcards, which are B5 in size or narrower are printed continuously,
the non-paper passage side on the fuser unit heats up. For this reason, the message
“Please wait” is sometimes displayed and output is discontinued. Printing resumes after one
to two minutes. The message “Please wait” is also sometimes displayed and printing is
discontinued for 30 seconds or more when one sheet of paper A5 in size or smaller has
been printed.

decreases. When the paper is curled or problems occur due to the high temperature of the
fuser unit, select [Lightweight].
