printing on heavy card stock using HP4520 printer always jams

[GlennEstry]

How do I print on heavy card stock with 4520 inkjet printer? Is there a 'rear feed' access?

Welcome to the HP Community --

No rear feed.

Reference:  User Guide 

The paper size, type, and weight must be supported.

Printer must be clean and in good repair.

What?  "Good repair" means that the printer is still able to handle supported paper types and weights.

Settings, including those in the printer control panel or EWS, must be correct and not conflict with the job settings.
