If you are running 80lb (?) this is too heavy for this machine and may result in paper feed problems and poor image transfer (Thats what the sample looks like)

If the label on the paper says "80lb Cover" that equates to 216
g/m2 (per the "Grams/Meter² Converter" on the Ricoh TSC site). This is within spec.
That being said, from my take on the sample it looks like it is textured paper...Is that correct? If so, the toner cannot transfer in to the grooves in the paper. Textured paper is not supported. The MCP 2500 is not a high end graphics production color copier...
no matter what the salesman told you.
As for the bypass feed problems, you should have this looked at by a technician. If you have been using the bypass for the majority of your work it may need feed rollers changed and a good cleaning due to the various types of stocks you put through it.
