It appears the answer is dependent on the general Specifications for loading paper into the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder).

 

Automatic document feeder
Paper
64 to 90 g/m2 (16 to 20 lb bond)
Up to 35 sheets

 

 

Source:

 

User Guide > Chapter 6, Page 54

 

 

If that won't work, or if the load restriction is other than what you require, consider that you can fax from the computer.
