  • Scanning legal size on Pro 8610 printer

    I have tried everything and can not scan legal size on this printer. It does not have a setting gear icon after you push print like it does when you push print. If you use the feeder on top it does not automatically detect the size, it always scans letter size. This HP printer has been the most frutrating printer I have ever had. I continually disconnects from my computer, I constantly have to reload it with the disk. I cannot initiate that scan from my computer so that I can select legal, because it wont set up. Frustrated, can anyone help me? Thanks

    Hi, No, it does not know. You have to tell is to scan legal size. Please use option from your computer:             Regards.

  • Unable to Completely Scan Legal Size Documents with Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

    I am trying scan legal sized documents on my new Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. I have reviewed the forums, and this has been a recurring problem in the past (see link---  http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Scanning-Faxing-and-Copying/Scanning-Legal-Size-Documents/m-p/35416#M14...   ), but does not appear to be resolved. Whether I use the document feeder or the glass, the document is cut off at the bottom, and appears to be stopping at the 'A4' size, vs. legal. I cannot locate any setting on the scanner itself, or in the HP Utility software to change this, or even to be able to identify the current setting, if it is one. 
    I am using a Mac Pro, system 10.6.8, just installed and started using the printer a couple of days ago, and everything is up to date software-wise. Everything else on this machine has been working beautifully. 
    Can anyone identify what's going on here and how to correct it?
    Thanks for your help--I specifically chose this particular unit over the next model down due to the legal sized glass/bed, and if I can't use it to scan legal docs, well, that's a problem. Thanks for your help!

    2. From Scan Settings open the "Scan to Computer".
    3. Click the "Scan Tasks" tab.
    4. Select the Scan Shortcut used to scan, then click Edit.

  • LASERJET 100 MFP M175MW scanning legal size document problem

    I am on a Macbook Pro, running OS X 10.8.5. I am also using the HP Scan software 4.0.
    I am having problems scanning a Legal Size document. It always cuts off the bottom portion, acting like it was only us letter size.
    After loading a document onto my scanner/printer:
           I open the HP Scan software,
           Select the Scan Button
           Change the Crop to US Legal in the dropdown area.
            Continue
    Then when I look at the image scanned in, it is not complete.
    Is there something else I need to do to make this work, maybe a setting on the actual scanner/printer.
    I have tried to read all support documentation possible and I cannot get this to work. I even updated all my operating systems upgrades, but I am not running Maverick yet.
    I would be thankful for any help at all.
    Thanks!

    To my knowledge the only way you can scan legal is from the ADF, have you tried that? If you are trying to scan legal sizs docs from the flatbed than you will experience the cut off that you are stating in your post.
    Please try to re-scan the document using your ADF feeder and see if this will solve your issue.
    Thank you.

  • Scanning legal size document on HP 6520

    How do I scan a legal size document on my new HP Photosmart 6520? Glass size is letter size. Is there a document feeder above the paper tray? Not working so far. Thank you.

    Hello kurebeach1,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you would like to do legal size scanning on your HP Photosmart 6520. After checking the HP Photosmart 6520 Product Specifications, the biggest scanning size is 8.5 x 11inches, the PS 6520 does not support legal size scanning.
    See image below:
    I hope this answers your question!

  • How to scan legal size document with Adobe Acrobat 6.0?

    How do you scan legal (8.5 x 14.0) size documents with Adobe Acrobat 6.0.0 ? There is no option for that size paper in the scan menu. And I can't find the answer in either my help file or on-line with Adobe.com. Can anyone help me?

    I use a HP OfficeJet G85. I have no problem copying/printing legal (8.5 x 14) size documents with that all-in-one unit. So I assumed it should be able to send the image it collected to my Adobe Acrobat program instead of to the printer. Am I missing something? Or should I put the question to HP instead of Adobe?

  • Acrobat Scanning with CM1312nfi MFP. Can't change from legal size paper

    I've had the same problem with mulitple versions of Adobe Acrobat, but most recenlty with version XI Standad.
    All my scans using the Acobat interface result in legal size scans using the ADF, instead of letter size.   When I try to "Configure Preset"  the Paper Size is set to "Automatic" and there are no other options available in the drop down box.
    I have to do a custom scan and manually select the paper size using the HP interface, but I would like to use the Acrobat interface instead due to the volume of scans I perform.
    In Acrobat the Scanner is identified as "WIA- HP CLJ CM1312 Scan".   I am running Windows 8.1 64 bit.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and Acrobat, but the problem persists.
    All help appreciated.  Thanks.

    Not sure if this is the same problem I'm having. I have a HP C5180, and when I go to print I get all the necessary options (by dropping down the traingle as advised above), and all's great..... apart from the Source tray is always set to Main Tray instead of the Photo.
    I can change it each time I print, but it won't stay defaulted to Photo Tray even when I save or 'Save as' a new Preset. I have tried to overwrite the default ones, but no go, and also saved as a new Preset, but it still doesn't come up as the default selection next time I go in to print.
    Sounds easy enough to cope with I know, but I've set it up for a 84 year old to print from and I don't expect she'll manage to do this change every time.

  • Why is default scan in Adobe Acrobat 9.3.1 legal size

    I have HP LaserJet with new software. I scan directly from Adobe Acrobat 9.3.1 (Windows 7, 64 bit). The only scanner I can find in dropdown is WIA. I do not see the twain driver - even though I can scan with twain driver in the HP scanning application. The problem i am experiencing is that when I scan directly from Acrobat (using the only dropdown available - WIA - ) the scan is "legal size" and not "letter size." The only option for paper size is to select paper size automatically.
    I would very much like to be able to scan directly from Acrobat and have letter size documents appear as letter size documents. Please help.

    Try this, it worked for me in Acrobat v.8
    Start an Acrobat scan.
    In "Acrobat Scan" window select "Scanner Options"
    In "Scanner Options" window select "User interface: Show Scanner's Native Interface"
    Click OK on "Scanner Options" window
    Click Scan on "Acrobat Scan" window
    Next you will be asked to save the PDF file. After this a window should open that gives you an option to select paper size and document type.
    I found locations in my HP Printer/Scanner to set paper size but I don't think the information is passed from the printer to Acrobat. I suspect it is an HP problem but they are total dolts about doing anything but pointing the fingure at Adobe.
    Hope this works for you. It is very cumbersome but it yields the right results.

  • Scanning a legal size

    I am trying to scan a legal size document.The printer does have alot of apps and features and I was wondering if scanning a legal size documet is possible?

    LibraryTech15,
    Welcome to the HP Forum.
    The short answer is, "Yes, one can scan documents of different sizes.  Scan sizes can be adjusted."
    The longer answer depends a great deal on which printer model you have and a number of other factors.
    If you have found that your printer does not support the function you require due to limitations in software, printer features, or even hardware function, then you can consider copying the original in two pieces and then combining it on the computer into one document. 
    There are a number of software packages that support combining documents, including free software that can combine multiple PDF files.  You could also create two image files and then combine those files using Paint (included with most versions of Windows).  These are admittedly some odd workarounds, based on very little information and offered as "this works when I have nothing else".
    Without having any idea whatsoever what you are doing, what model of printer you have, the operating system you are using, or the lengths to which you are willing to go to get what you want, it is difficult to answer the question.

  • I am trying to scan a legal size document from my Canon printer onto my MacBookPro. It scans the document as a letter size.

    I am having trouble scanning a legal size document from my Canon printer onto my MacBookPro. I have set the printer paper size option to legal size on my printer. The scanned document comes through as a letter size document after scanning. I do not see an option in iPhoto to change the paper size.
    Can anyone advise?
    Thanks.

    Experience has taught me that it pays to be very precise and specific when dealing with computers. Precisely and specifically, what you describe is impossible. It is impossible to scan a document (of any size) with a printer.
    I surmise that you are using an all-in-one, ie, an apparatus which combines a printer, a scanner, and sometimes a fax machine, in the same device. That takes us to the next step -- the page size set for printing is used for printing -- it has nothing to do with scanning. It may be possible that Canon provides software which synchronises page sizes used for printing and for scanning, but we don't know what applications and drivers you are using…

    Yes, you can scan a PDF as legal size and save it. Check out the screen shot I posted below as an example of what you are looking for in the printer software that is installed on your computer.

  • Scanning different size documents.

    I need to scan letter and legal size documents into one PDF. I have adjusted the presets to Automatic in the paper size section but it only scans them to letter. Help!

    HI @wildabouthusker ,
    I see that you are experiencing issues when scanning from the ADF, but not the glass. You are getting a black line right in the center of the document from top to bottom. I will certainly do my best to help you.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    I have provided a document for cleaning the ADF glass and the white plastic strips. Disregard the model, it should be similar to your Laserjet M177fw.
