What is prtInputMediaWeight?

This value reports (or, on trays without a weight sensor, lets an admin set) the weight of the paper stock loaded in an input tray, measured in grams per square meter; -2 means unknown. An admin sets this for a tray of heavy cardstock, e.g. 200 g/m², so the printer can adjust fuser temperature and feed speed appropriately.
