Paper types and weights are supported as shown in the specifications.
If your paper is within the weight limitations, you might be able to use it.
Success also depends on the printing surface on the paper - if the paper surface is "too rough", it might not work.
Yes, assuming the full driver printer software is installed,
The paper size and type must be selected.
If the paper is not too heavy and the paper surface and paper color (white) is suitable,
Select the paper size and type in Printing Preferences when setting up the job.

Excellent.
You are welcome.
For those reading:
Brochure paper setting can be used for some "thick" papers - else look for Thick / Card / Professional or similar.
Happy Printing!
