I have 2 R220s and neither has presented any problems like you mentioned with papers 
under 330 or so gsm.  I've not used the Entrada but I'm wondering if too thin may be a 
problem.  Epson's EEM which feels like a very low 200s gsm paper comes packaged with a 
very heavy "backing" sheet which is advised to put behind single sheets when feeding single 
sheets.  If you have some very heavy paper you might try putting a sheet under the fed paper.
