Going by what you said here. Since you are able to print to it, it obviously is networked and configured.
You can web into the machine. Use IE (preferably) or another browser to access the settings. Type in the IP address of the copier, no http and crap needed, just the numeric address, press enter.
You should get the web interface of the copier, known as PageScope.
At the bottom left of the page, you should see an icon link called "webtools"
Click that.
A new page will appear (assuming Java has been installed in browser)
Select "WebSetup" from the new menu.
Another popup menu will appear. From here, you can access "printer setup".
Under that section, look for the section regarding paper size
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Default Paper Sizes—Specify whether to print on US paper sizes (for example, letter, legal, tabloid), or Metric paper sizes (for example, A4 and A3) by default. When no page size is defined within a PostScript file, jobs are printed on letter paper if you select US, or A4 paper if you select Metric.
Convert Paper Sizes—Specify whether to convert paper sizes in documents
automatically to the default paper sizes specified. For example, if you select Letter/11x17->A4/A3, a letter size job is automatically printed on A4 paper. If you select No, the Pi6500 Pro prints the job only if it finds a media source in the size specified by the job.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The interface you are looking at is a standard Fiery interface, most Fiery devices are essentially the same, though the newer ones have a much nicer interface and features. But they all have similar sections with similar setting options. The control panel on the fiery itself, the PI-5500, has several buttons. The middle button of the three below the screen brings up the sub menu display, the arrows above and below are scrolls, the buttons on the right of the screen are to select the current menu display options. You can print out a configuration page from here to quickly show you the above setting entries so you can know for sure if that is where the problem lies.
I could not find a 5500 manual for this online, but as I said, the web interface is mostly universal. The outer case of this fiery is also similar to the PI-6500 Pro, which I also had a hard time finding manuals on.

Konica Minolta Knowlegebase
a web site available to Konica Minolta users. This link is for the 6500e variant, which is an embedded model. The control panel for it is actually part of the copier control panel, however, there is little difference in the area that you require, specifically the configuration guide, found at the top of the list. This will outline what I had described with respect to the web interface.
