M252dw card thickness

[JBR99]

Could anyone please tell me the maximum card thickness that the M252dw laser printer will handle?

I'm afraid I cannot find any mention of card thickness in the manual or on here for that printer.

Thank you for your response.  

I'm afraid that here in the UK we measure paper and card thickness in gsm (grams per square metre) and I am unable to convert your measurements in pounds into our units.

I did look through the printer manual and cannot find any thickness measurement or weight for card.

Thanks anyway.

Many thanks for that, Dvortex.  So up to 175g/sqm.

Apologies for not finding that for myself, but I swear that I couldn't see it on the manual or online manual.

Thanks again.
