Digital BW, The Print

I'll cut a piece of foamcore at work this afternoon and see if that 
solves the problem. In the mean time, can anyone give me a 
brief description of the mechanics of the paper feeding process 
that would help me understand why lighter weight paper feeds 
without issue while the stiffer and heavier paper causes such 
problems? It's always good to know how in addition to why. 
Thanks

Bruce
