According to the "Advanced User's Guide", (downloadable at the Brother website) yes you can scan 11 x 17 and scale it down to 8.5 x 11. (64%)

Yes, the scanner bed is 11"x17" so you can scan documents up to that size. You can make reduced size copies, but keep in mind that 11"x17" and 8.5"x11" are not the same proportionally. From 11" down to 8.5" is a reduction to 77% ; from 17" down to 11" is a reduction to 65%. You can reduce a Tabloid size document down to Letter size, but you will gain white space in the process.

If you use the scan bed you are restricted to 8.5 x 11. If you scan via the auto document feed you can scan legal size documents.

All sizes up to 11" X 17" fits! I've scanned smaller items just fine. It's a great scanner!

It will NOT scan a FULL 8.5x11 piece of paper (cuts off 1/4" from the top which normally won't be an issue, but on the rare occasion it is an issue you're going to be quite angry about the price of this thing) and the color representation from the scans were a different and quite "off" color temperature when compared to my cheap Canon. I returned the 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'm going to say "yes". I scanned small old polaroids, 4x6 photos and up to 8x10. Once I transferred the photos to my PC they retained their size. However, if I choose to print one I can resize the photo to what I want. Hope this helps.

No ! The bed is only Letter size and a bit more for the A4 size paper.I use it to scan slides and it does a GREAT job ! I had this scanner since 2009 and still works like the first day. Very good quality.

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!

No. It cannot scan 11" wide. It will scan anything 8 1/2" wide and smaller.

It's a flatbed scanner, so only one sheet at a time. It will not scan 8.5x11 sheets

No, it can't. I've got mine here, and it is not 11 inches wide, only a little more than 8 1/2" wide. It can scan long pages, longer than 11 inches, but I've not found a way to do wider than the machine.

Not sure what you mean by documents. It will only scan up to 11 inches wide. Maybe you mean will it tear up a document when the document is put into the scanner? If so, you can buy clear document protector sheets to put the documents into to scan. Not sure where you can buy them, but probably on Amazon!

The documentation and the manufacturer both say 8.27" which is exactly the width of an A4 size sheet of paper. A4 slightly narrower and longer than our letter paper, and is the standard size of letter sized paper in most of the rest of the world. Unfortunately, North America uses its own imperial system of paper sizes, just like we use inches instead of centimeters and cups instead of liters. Unless someone can confirm that it will actually scan 8.5" I'd be wary of buying this for scanning American documents.

No, that is probably the only drawback I have found. A letter width (8.5) is the widest it will scan.

This scanner will scan 11 inch by 17 inch on a flat bed. Note it doesn't have a document feeder. I use if for scanning old photo albums and scrapbooks which are approximately 11x17. If is also good for scanning sheet music which is tyically larger that 8.5x11.

If you mean Fit-to-Size, Yes. If you mean can you select an Area to Scan, No. What you see is what you get . . . but there are several Freeware Viewers that will let you Crop Scanned Images. What I mean is that a 4 x 6 Original will be a 4 x 6 Scan, etc . . . but you can't Scan a 4 x 6 OF an 8 x 10.

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