Is it easy to scan a 11 x 17 paper. Which is what I really need.

Yes. Place the paper in the feeder on top and hit the scan button. You can scan to a memory stick, send to email or computer, etc. You can also scan a single sheet by placing on the flatbed glass but using the sheet feeder is easier. Although the computer is wireless network ready I find scanning works smoother if connected using a USB cable.

You can scan without the USB cable which is not supplied with the printer. I find having the cable attached makes things a bit more efficient but not a requirement. I suggest setting the printer up without cable and testing. If you desire to use cable after this they are readily available on Amazon or most retail electronics stores.

it works really good on plain and premium paper. It works on USB connection and network. I connected this printer to my home network. my whole family loved to prints 11x17 most of the times.

I use it to print, scan, copy 1/4 scale drawings, it works well for scanning and copying.

Absolutely, the bed is actually larger and I think that the feeder will also accommodate the size, although I have not used it that way yet.

Yes. I do it all the time. Just scanned in an 8 page document last night. That has more to do with software than the hardware and the software that comes with the scanner works well.

I scanned a bunch of old family photos from the 40s-60s, and it did fine, it pulled them straight through using the guides. They were of different sizes so I sorted as best I could and batch scanned the groups. Somewhat difficult to navigate the setting menus to obtain the highest resolution (1200x1200), in color, and the correct size. Much faster and easier than a flat scanner.

I honestly haven't tried out the automatic duplex feature, but it does handle 11x17 paper.

I purchased an Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner. It scans slides, pictures and negatives. The scanner takes 4 slides at a time. Worked great. I had about 1500 slides from the 60s. The Kaiser Mini let me sort thru them quickly. Was a great winter project.

No...the scanning area is set for letter-size paper. I scan a lot of larger documents by scanning in sections and then using PhotoShop to 'cut & paste' them together into one document. We use three of these scanners at my office, and they have proven their worth.

This is the only downside to this scanner - it will only scan up to an 8.5 x 14 - legal document size. I wish it would do 11 x 14 but I decided to get this one anyway because of over size of the scanner, the difference in price, and that I have so few photos I need to scan that I don't have an 8 x 10 or smaller copy of, I can take the others somewhere to get them scanned.

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.

Pretty good. Can do single or multiple page scans. Quality choices are okay.

That is not why I use the scanner. However, the scanner can scan that type of paper and a skinnier width. The issue may be with the continuous nature of the roll (unless you are talking about single receipts, then it can definitely handle it).

No, the width of the scanner is only 8.5" so it is best for scanning standard-sized pages.

You can do only A4 size paper. It doesn't allow bigger size paper. Also if I try to do small pictures it doesn't recognize them. I have to place them on a blank A4 and then scan them.

Sorry, I have only been able to scan single pages. What I do is, open the files, copy paste in Word or Power Point and then save as PDF

Yes, the trays can easily be configured to handle 11x17 paper, there are tabs inside the trays that you pinch/move to the appropriate paper sizes as shown in the tray. These is also a dial that you move in the tray to indicate to the printer what size of paper is loaded. This will also show on the tray front the type of paper loaded.

Yes you can. In color and black and white. Good quality. Allows you to set up different folders and remembers most frequently used but also allows you to search the history. You can also name the files anything you want. One thing you need to watch is that when you scan, the roller area is narrow. If you are scanning something from photo paper, you should make sure the print doesn't get stuck. I just guide it from behind and give a gentle push if needed. Otherwise, this scanner scans most anything you want that is up to 9 1/2 inches in width.

Karen, yes you can but it should be done carefully. The mouse/scanner is best when covering a smaller area but can scan a very large area. I have not tried it beyond 8.5x11 but it seems like it may work for even larger surfaces. It takes some practice to scan larger areas but it really works well. The OCR is pretty decent also. Once scanned you can set the image size to whatever you like with a good editor.

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%)
