This section gives you various details about and recommendations concerning thick paper.
When loading thick paper of 106–157 g/m2 (28–40 lb. Bond) in the bypass tray, follow the recommendations below to prevent misfeeds and loss of image quality.
Store all your paper in the same environment - a room where the temperature is 20–25 °C (68–77 °F) and the humidity is 30–65%.
When loading thick paper, set the paper direction according to its grain, as shown in the following diagram:

Bypass tray
Select [Thick Paper] for [Paper Type] of the bypass tray.
Even if thick paper is loaded as described above, normal operations and print quality might still not be possible, depending on the paper type.
Prints might have prominent vertical creases.
Prints might be noticeably curled. Flatten out prints if they are creased or curled.
