Weights

"plain paper" can be Letter size at 16 lb and A4 size at 60gsm.

Paper weights
Plain Paper: 64 to 90 g/m² (16 to 24 lb)
Envelopes: 75 to 90 g/m² (20 to 24 lb bond envelope)
Cards: Up to 200 g/m² (110 lb index maximum)
Photo Paper: Up to 280 g/m² (75 lb)

I would guess this means that "plain paper" will support 16 lb / possible 60gsm - and more assuredly, 64gsm.

I am sorry the answer is not precise.  I cannot account for the differences in the different sources.
