Yes, and several other ~300gsm papers (in 1270 and 1290-non US 1280-
printers to be accurate).  
It is necessary to feed one sheet at a time and give a little
assistance, by guiding the paper in for the first inch when it starts
to load. Because this requires attending the printer, I often use
rolls when making several prints in sequence. 

Roll-ends must be cut accurately square and the curl removed from 3 or
4 inches.  Some have suggested attaching leaders to rolls, but I have
managed OK without this.  

Once or twice I have accidentally fed two sheets. A quick flip of the
print head to thick media setting and all has been well, so there is
someting to spare even at 300gsm (~25mil or ~600 microns).
