Unusable Paper

Solution

    To avoid problems such as paper jams and other malfunctions, the following types of paper should never be used:
    IMPORTANT
    • Paper that jams easily
    - Paper that is too thick or too thin
    - Irregularly- shaped paper
    - Wet or moist paper
    - Torn or damaged 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.)
    - Labels with backing sheet that is easily peeled off
    - Paper that has already been printed by a copy machine or another laser printer (The reverse side of the paper is also unusable.

    - Paper with jagged edges (paper that has been poorly cut)
    - Wrinkled paper
    - Paper with the corners folded
    • Paper that changes its quality at a high temperature
    - Paper that contains ink that melts, burns, evaporates or emits harmful gases at or lower than the heating temperature (approx. 270°C or 518°F) of the fixing unit
    - Heat- sensitive paper
    - Treated color paper
    - Specially coated paper (coated paper for inkjet printers, etc.)
    - Paper with adhesive on the surface
    • Paper that damages the printer
    - Carbon paper
    - 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 unusable. 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.)
