Printer paper

[Sandie15]

Can I use card stock paper in my HP Laser Jet M140we

[Dragon-Fur]

@Sandie15 

Welcome to the HP Community --

According to the specifications, the answer is 

Sorry, No.

Media types:  Plain paper, envelope, postcard, label

Media weight, supported:  17 to 32 lb

This is a general purpose office paper printer.

The paper weight maximum is listed as 32 lb / 180 gsm

Professional Paper / Brochure (matte) is rated at 32 lb / 180 gsm.

Index paper, a light wight ISO standard paper type is 110 lb / 200 gsm.

You might be able to use the Index paper type / weight if the printer is clean, willing, and in excellent condition.

Reminder

You need to alert the printer AND the print job configuration app to the paper size and type.

I would guess the term "post card" is defined as a light-weight "card type" paper.
