use the straight path for 300gsm or, really anthing thicker than EEM. 1.
you'll have fewer flaking problems (but don't forget to give the sheet a
good swipe with an old tee shirt first); 2. as you're 2200 sees use, feeding
any thicker paper from the top may cause ink to smear the edges (see recent
posts on this - I'm still trying to figure out what causes it); 3. once
you've used a couple of time you'll realize it's really very easy. I wound
up turning my printer about 45 deg. for easier access and just left it that
way.
