Hello Ginny,

I've tried Museo II and many other thick papers.  I've been able to
put any thick papers through the top feeder, even as thick as 315 gsm.
 The trick is to put a slight bend in the paper so it's pointing into
the grabber a bit.  Then keep a finger on top and give it a firm but
very slight nudge when it starts, just enough to get it into the jaws
of the grabber.  Press too hard or push it too far in and it will be
rejected.  It also helps to not have the paper fence up against the
paper, but allow about 1/16" of space.  The grabber tends to twist the
paper slightly and then straighten it out again.  If the fence is up
against the paper it doesn't allow the twist and increases the failure
rate a lot.


Regards,
Clayton
