Does the scanner on this actually scan at 11 x 17 or is it a bit smaller?

I just ran some tests w 11x17. Fits on platen with room to spare. The scanner does pick up the full 11" width. However it seems to stop 5/8" short of the entire length. That is true for both Tabloid 11x17 and A3 settings in the software. Not sure if I am missing something in the software or if this is truly a limitation of this scanner. All other things considered, I am very happy with this unit, and that is after having several Brother MFCs over the years.

I would have to say No to that one. The one I have - The scanning surface is 8.75" by 12" and as I recall the legal size is 8.5" by 14" so it will NOT take that the additional 2". Other than that it has been very good for most of my needs. Hope this is of help to you.

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

It only makes sense that if a Brother MFC can scan a 11x17 (A3) than the tray/printing can handle 11x17 (A3) as well

We currently use this scanner to only scan 8x11 size pages at our office. I do believe it will scan legal size as well.

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!

Maximum scan area is 8.5x11.7. However it has "stitch" technology meaning it can scan larger documents section by section.

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.

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.

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

I have this scanner and I have scanned photos as small as 1 1/2 x 2 (small school pictures). Thick ones on cardboard scan also. Only issue I had was several photos on a single sheet of paper can get stuck on the edges, but that is expected. Great little scanner, scanned 1000's of photos.

No....the glass is 8 3/4 x 11 3/4 11 x 17 paper slides in the back. So yes it can scan 11 x 17

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.

The maximum width of photo or document this unit will scan is 8.5" with the unit docked. I don't believe there is a max length. I never tried any larger than 8.5" x 11".

No. I bought it thinking it would but I was wrong. The scanner glass is only 8.5x11.

This device will scan anything that will fit through the scan slot. I've used it a lot for scanning 8.5x11 inch pages for archiving articles that I want to keep but not have piles of paper laying around.
