About <Free Size>
If you frequently change sizes of paper to load, you can specify <Free Size>, which saves you the trouble of changing the paper size setting each time you print. However, take note that this setting lets the machine print even if there is mismatch between the paper size setting in the printer driver and the paper size actually loaded in the machine.
If you select <Free Size>, the print speed will be slower.
