Paper Thickness / Paper Weight

[IngoVals]

I have a printer and wan't to print on thick paper. So I look up info on this.

This is the info I find:

All paper capacities quoted are based on a paper thickness of max. 0.11 mm. Please use paper recommended by
KYOCERA under normal environmental conditions.
Input capacity: Max. 50-sheet multi-purpose tray, 60–220 g/m2
,
A4, A5, A6, B5, letter, legal, folio, envelopes, custom (70 x138
to 216 x 356 mm),
max. 250-sheet universal paper cassette, 60–163 g/m2
, A4, A5,
A6, B5, letter, legal, folio, custom (105 x 148 to 216 x 356 mm),
max. input capacity with options: 1,300 sheets
Duplex unit: Duplex as standard supports 60–163 g/m2
Reversing document processor: 50-sheet, Simplex scan
50–120 g/m2
, Duplex scan 50–110 g/m2
, A4, A5, B5, letter,
legal, custom (140 x 210 to 216 x 356 mm)
Output capacity: Max. 150 sheets face-down

It says max 0.11 mm and also mentions 220 g/m2

"Paper density - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" says that 220 g/m2 is around 0.234mm

Can someone give me in layman's term how thick paper I could really use?

Well if you read the Manual of your Printer, you will know how think paper your printer can take in.
Try that if you do not find that info on your Manual then put the Make and model in google and search like this

Well my above post does mention 0.11 mm but also 220g/m2.

My problem is that this seems to be conflicting information as 220 g/m2 is usually twice the thickness of 0.11 mm.

So I was wondering what gives. Am I misunderstanding this information somehow?

What sort of paper are you trying to print on? How thick is it? Is it card or what..? Please give a few more details if you can.

I suggest that you look for a professional who can explain the actual difference and meanings of the terminology used here. That is, if nobody on this forums has an idea.
