I seem to remember that you can use dry paper after soaking it in oil.
Put a very thin layer of light oil on a plate and let the paper roll soak in it.

If you get non-oiled paper I don’t know if there would
be additional
occasional mechanism maintenance needed. I guess take what you can
get.
Not only will there be more stoppages, you'll wear out the punch pins faster. Oiled
paper is pretty well a hard requirement.
You can of course *read* non-oiled tape without damage.
Thanks,
Jonathan
