    c. Paper that causes printer malfunctions or 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 previously printed paper. You cannot print on the printed side again.)
    d. Paper that is difficult for the toner to fix onto
