Can the Canon MX860 print and scan on legal size paper? Does anyone know if this printer can handle duplex printing on legal size paper 8.5inches x14inches?

I have the MX860. It is a pretty crummy scanner for people who occasionally scan legal documents. If you are using the Auto Document Feeder (ADF), you will need to change the settings in the desktop scanning software every time that you use a legal document. There are no controls on the printer itself. You will also need to change it back to Letter when you switch document sizes. You will also need to change the settings separately for "Save to PC," "Save as PDF file," "Attach to E-mail," and "Open with Application." Each of these also has different settings which must be changed if you are scanning on the glass or using the ADF OR if it is one-sided (simplex) or two-sided (duplex). While scanning on the glass, there is an "Auto Detect" document size option. If you are using the ADF, there is no "Auto Detect." For a device sold in 2009, it really should be simpler.

Expanding on what J. Chan wrote, to scan a legal document using the ADF you have to open up "Canon MP Navigator", click the Preferences button (top/right corner), click the Scanner Button Settings tab, & then change the settings for each scanner action as J. Chan described a few comments up. Otherwise the scan gets cut off by the letter-size PDF.It really is pretty ridiculous that the MX860's ADF can't detect the document length, but that's the only major flaw I've run across.

my printer just started duplex scanning all documents, and I don't want it to do this... how do I turn it off?

Strange, I just scanned legal pages using the ADF and it worked just fine without the paper size having to be set in the Navigator app. I assumed it just scanned until it hit the end of the page and as far as I can tell the software handled it perfectly. Acrobat thinks the PDF page size is 13.59", so maybe that's an issue if you need it to know that it's actually 14", but otherwise my experience is that it's painless to scan either letter or legal via the ADF.

Print yes. I haven't tried scanning. The document scanner looks like it will handle a legal size paper.

I own MX850 and just tried to duplex print on legal size paper and got this message: "A paper size that is not supported by the automatic duplex printing function is selected. Uncheck Automatic Duplex Printing." Printer was set for legal size before I attempted to print.

Great question and one that I would also like to know. If not, then what about the MX850, if you can still find one?

I found this comment in one user's review regarding duplex legal scanning:"It is what I expected. great print quality. duplex document scanning is a big plus. It wont duplex scan legal though which I was disappointed but I don't do that much legal so it is ok."I'm still looking for an answer about duplex printing on legal paper, but I'm beginning to think that the answer to that question will also be "no."

You need to click the "Specify" button in the MP Navigator app (button is next to where the document resolution is being displayed) and then in the window that opens, uncheck the "Automatic Duplex Scanning" which will then display additional paper sizes in the "Document Size" drop down list...including the "Legal" option.

It can do duplex printing manually but not automatically. Have to flip it over for the the other side to print.

I had problems with this printer not printing envelopes. I suggest returning the product. I then purchased a Canon mx870. Love it. No problem s.

it will only print 4 x 6" photos. I am still using mine after 2 years, but it does take quite a bit of ink. Only use for small amt. of photos.

Hello,I'm sorry but I couldn't find a MX-920 Canon printer? Is there possibly another model number that it goes under?Thanks,Troy

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.

It does for 3 x 5 up to 8 x 10 but never tried 11 x 8.5. This is a great printer. I've had mine now for at least a year and it still prints amazingly well. Individual ink tanks are wonderful because you don't have to change but the color that is empty. Canon printers are so much cheaper to operate than the majority and you don't have to sacrifice quality.

Yes, this printer will handle 11" x 17" pages. There is also a duplexing option.

I have a Canon iP8720 printer. The software accommodates the following paper sizes; A3 (11.7x16.5), A3+(13x19), 10x12, 14x17), as well the usual standard sizes. Hope this helps.

I purchased the printer and it does do duplex scanning. In addition to the single scanning glass inside the machine itself, there is a document feeder tray on top that I've used to scan 3-4 pages (give or take) at a time.

I have only used it for printing letter sized paper. I have not used it to scan or print legal.

The printer is not capable of printing on anything larger than legal paper. You can use software to adjust something smaller than legal size to legal size but that is true of any printer.

Thanks, Michele. I'm surprised, too by your comments about the colours. After being advised that the cartridges for the MX860 were very expensive and that the MX850 had problems connecting wirelessly, I ended up buying an Epson TX800FW. The few photos I've printed look ok to me. (I'm not a pro). It's been great to have a fax. One if its drawbacks is only one full-sized paper tray. I've yet to fully test out the machine.

The question confuses 2 different paper sizes. "Legal Size" is the name given to 8.5" x 14" paper, which has the same width as standard "letter size," but is 3 inches longer. Most sheet-fed scanners that scan ordinary "letter size" will be able to scan "legal size." Thus my ScanSnap S1500 (as well as the above-mentioned S1300i) easily scans legal-size paper. Another paper size, 11" x 14," which is both wider and longer than letter size, is sometimes used to make large photographic prints or small posters; as far as I know, it has no common name. Most consumer scanners (both sheet-fed and flat-bed) are NOT wide enough to scan this paper. Scanners that handle this size are much more expensive; commercial photocopy centers (and my local library) have these scanners.

Not sure, but I've used much less capable printers to print photos of many different dimensions. I believ that you could accomplish this in Photo Shop printing options, and if not, then you could use any number of customizable printing software packages. A call to Canon at 800-652-2666 should get this question accurately answered.

No, only 4 x 6, and I believe it can print 3 x 5 with an adapter that you have to purchase from Canon. But you better confirm the 3 x 5. Definitely NO 8 x 10.
