The ADF can hold up to 100 pieces of paper, based on a paper weight of 55 g/m2, up to a total thickness of about 1/2 inch (12 mm). If you’re using 20 pound bond paper, it’s somewhat thicker and heavier (75 g/m2), so you won’t be able to load quite as many sheets. Use the marking on the side of the tray as a guide, as shown:
Do not load paper above 
the top line
