I'd be very surprised if the duplexer for the 5200 involved any substantial engineering changes from the 5100 duplexer. In any case, it's rated for a max paper weight of 120 g/sq.m., which is equivalent to 32 lb. bond or 80 lb. offset, so I suspect the 100 lb. offset paper (148 g/sq.m.) might be problematic. I assume when you wrote "67 lb. bond" above, you meant 67 lb. index, which is equivalent to 32 lb. bond (120 g/sq.m). FWIW, I've been using 28 lb. bond (105 g/sq.m.) for a number of years and find it very satisfactory -- no show-through, suitable heft, readily available, and easy for printers to handle.
