GSM isn't thickness, it's weight... though thicker papers usually are
higher GSM. 

I use 300 GSM Moab Entrada sometimes, 205 GSM Moab Kayenta a lot
(instead of Epson Enhanced Matte). Neither feeds fully properly
through the top but both are trouble-free through the back. The 300
can be MADE to work from the top by bending it, breaking its spine,
but it's easier simply to feed from the back. The 205 feeds fairly
reliably as single sheets from the top, but I want 100% reliability so
I feed it from the back as well. 

It'd be nice if we could use the top feeder with every sort of paper,
irrespective GSM and thickness, saving desktop space...but that's not
the way the 2200 was designed. 

For stacking paper in the top feeder, paper surface friction also
becomes a challenge, in addition to issues of GSM and thickness...
