Duplexing Special Paper Types

How can I get a Ricoh Aficio MPC2051 to duplex card stock or glossy heavy weight paper?  I gave up trying to do it with the bypass tray, but even a regular paper tray will not work. As soon as I select card stock or glossy paper, it switches it back to one sided printing.  If I leave the paper type as standard, it either jams, won't print, or creates a poor quality copy.

Requests for more information

This is actually quite a large multi-function copier.  I am confused as to why the options are available if it cannot perform the function.   Are you sure you're referring to an Aficio MP C2051?

Hi, the copier won't duplex those types of paper because it creates problems when the paper has to make all of the turns and curves required to invert the paper. You could try printing on one side, then loading the paper upside-down and printing on the other side, but when doing this you run the risk of increased jamming and image quality problems. That copier is a low-volume machine, not designed for handling heavy paper types for double-siding. You would need a larger copier for that.
