To avoid problems such as paper jams and other malfunctions, the following types of paper should never be used:
- Paper that is too thick or too thin
- Irregularly-shaped paper
- Rough, extremely smooth, or glossy paper
- Paper with binding holes or perforations
- Curled or creased paper

- Specially coated paper (coated paper for inkjet printers, etc.)
- Paper with adhesive on the surface
- Paper that damages the printer
- Paper with staples, clips, ribbons or tapes
- Paper that has already been printed by a copy machine or another laser printer
(The reverse side of the paper is also not usable. Using the multi-purpose tray, however, you can perform 2-sided printing manually on the other side of paper previously printed by this printer. You cannot print on the printed side again.)
- Paper that is difficult for the toner to fix onto
- Paper with rough surfaces
- Specially coated paper (coated paper for inkjet printers, etc.)
