I want to print on heavy paper (80 g/m2) using the printer noted in subject line. Can I do that?

That media appears to be within the specs of the printer. The biggest thing you need to ensure is that you set the paper type of the printer to card stock and also ensure that you select cardstock in the printer driver. Doing this slows the printer down and allows it to bond the toner properly on the heavier paper.
