peso de papel


Explanation:
¿Cuál es el peso máximo de papel que puede soportar la bandeja XXX?

"Gramaje" refers to the weight of one sheet of paper/cardboard measured in grs/sqm. (typical weights are 85 g/sqm for bond paper, through to 350 g/sqm for hardboard. Gramaje backtranslates to basis weight, substance, grammage(Routledge, own experience). I believe your context refers simply to how much weight the tray can hold: "peso de papel".

neutral  Victòria Peñafiel Ducròs: sí, parece que si el peso se mide en libras se debe referir al peso total... te doy la razón!

  -> Sí, más contexto aclararía la duda. Por eso puse ejemplos de gramajes, para que alaell compare con los valores que siguen a la pregunta. Supongo que dependerá de la máquina y bandeja a la cuál se refiere.

Explanation:
It just refers to the weight capacity of the tray. The gramaje and g/m2 are technical terms for paper weight used in printing processes.
