what's the exact maximum size it can scan? this seems to be missing from most scanner descriptions on this site

The scanner is a traditional 11 X 17 large page scanner; it will handle a slight bleed,giving you the ability to scan maybe 11.25 X 17.25. Most tabloid-sized paper is 11 X17, so it accommodates well. Great for scanning comic book art!!!Hope that helpsMarc

the glass 11.875 x 17.125, but you usually don't get an evenly exposed scan right up to the edges...

The bed measures 11.75 x 17, but with Adobe Photoshop Photomerge I have used this scanner to scan as large as 20 x 26 with outstanding results. I am totally pleased with this scanner.

the dimensions are 11 x 17 but it scans a little bit smaller than that, about 10.5 by 16.75. But don't buy this scanner, it is grossly outdated and most computers do not have driver support. It downright does not work on a mac and only on half or so windows machines. Epson makes large format scanner/printers of the same price that scan 12 x 18 and work well on mac or windows and have regular driver support. I cannot warn you enough of the disaster that comes with buying a mustek scanner.

11 x 17, but it might be a tad more. I returned it right away because it didn't interface well with MacOSX.

I have never actually scanned anything exactly this size, but the screen opening measures just under 12" x 17" so it should scan any image close to that width or length. Good luck!

Well A3 size is 16.5 x 11.7 in. I would not recommend buying this scanner. The vendor offers very little support. We ditched ours and bought an Epson Workforce WF-7510. It can print and scan up to 13 x 19 and it costs less than $200. We use it on both Windows 7 and Mac OS Mountain Lion.

We never managed to get the scanner working at our school, we were running windows xp and our technical staff could not easily find the drivers required.

I have only used it to copy pictures and for that, it worked perfect. It is able to scan any size up to 8x10.

I hve the scanner attached to a extra workstation in my office. The computer is a bare bones PowerSpec computer with Window 7; 64 bit. I hope that helps.

Yes, and it can scan much longer than that, too. The box says the scan width is 8.3", but the one I have will actually do 8.5". I was able to scan 8.5" x 34" on the low (300dpi) setting.

This seems to be a full-blown scanner. Per the Canon website and user's manual it can scan the usual documents (up to 8.5 x 11) as well as pictures as well as 35mm negs and slides as well as medium format film. It can output in JPEG, TIFF, PDF, and others. I'm ordering one today! To download the manual see http://alpha03u.c-wss.com/inc/ApplServlet?SV=WWUCA900

The scanner is approximately 10" wide. You can auto feed a picture through it or you can hand hold the scanner and go down the picture. The photo would have to be able to fit in the width dimension, length is not an issue. It is a great product.

I have had no problems with scanning. You can preselect paper size on the computer driver before you select scan and it will scan the whole document.

I have hp printer/ scanner on it. that was one of the reasons I brought it. It is a average size scanner/ printer.

I will be honest, that is an odd size but it easily scans letter/legal size; I've scanned odd size pictures but as for "default" settings, I do not know as I change the size of items I am scanning all the time.

i do not know. i used the disc that came with and could not get it work on either of my computers. I tried the online software and could not get it to work either. I was able to see the scanners control panel but the controls would not respond. I did not bother to research because my problem may have been the pin cord, I bought a cheap one. my recommendation is to use the high dollar pin connector to usb. Radio shack has one for around 60 bucks

I just duplex scanned 2500 3 X 5 cards with perhaps one jam. I really like this scanner. Keep it clean and you should have no problem.

8 1/2 x 11 easily. It will scan documents a little larger than that, but NOT full legal size.

I actually returned it - it was barely bigger than a paper towel roll if I remember. I ended up getting a Fujitsu ScanSnap s1300i and am very pleased with it. A little more expensive, but excellent scans, it's fast, and the multi-sheet feeder is convenient.

The scanner glass is 8 1/2 x 12 - but I would believe it only scans 8 1/2 x 11, because the scanner needs the length of the glass for the head to scan down the image. You might get a little more than 11 inches, but I don't think it will capture a full 12 inches in the scanning, and definitely no more than 8 1/2 in the width. I really like this scanner and is serving my small business well for our needs.

Keeping in mind that the largest size it scans is 4 x 6 - you can take the lid off, turn the scanner upside down, center it on the page, and scan. The buttons are on the side, so you have to be aware of where they are when it is upside down. Larger pages would have to "stitched" -- which I have yet to try.I have turned it upside down to scan pictures that are still in the album, and even small pictures that were in a picture frame (couldn't be removed) - they turned out fine.

I no longer have this scanner. I seem to remember the scanning bed to be about 8.5 x 12.25I now have a CanoScan N 650U (very similar) and that is the size of its bed.Not sure if it actually scans all the way to the edges.

NO!!! it can only scan letter size 8.5 " x 11", you can scan A3 but in 2 parts by folding document and scanning each half.
