PC world says that this scans a max flatbed doc size of 8.5x11.7, but this seems to imply it scans flatbed 11x17 at one pass. Which is true?

I know it copies 11th but have not scanned yet. Will try tommorrow. By the way is best multifunction I have ever used.

The Brother MFCJ6710DW can scan an 11x17 document in one pass. One must use the lower tray, expanded to hold the 11x17 paper, and adjust the paper selection to Ledger paper size using the Menu function. Don't forget to reset the paper size on the Menu function after printing the Ledger sized document(s).

I forget what WOLVERINE claimed for file size, but mine scanned at 2.45MB +-a little on either side. Just barely good enough for a 4x6 print.

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.

I just tried it with a 4" x 6" picture, it doesn't take it, scanning is from the glass only. It didn't even try to pull the picture in and I moved it around to see if it needed to be in a different place.

I sent this scanner back because it stinks. If you are getting this scanner for home use that would probably be ok. But if you are needing to scan alot this is not the scanner. Yes it will scan 11X17.

See comment #1. This will not automatically handle paper size greater than 8.5 x 14.Also - this is NOT a color copier or printer.It will duplex/two side print.It will scan and save in color. Output is PDF, TIFF, JPG or BMP.I have had this model (2 of them) for a number of years and it is extremely reliable and heavy duty for its class.Recently purchased a third MFP from Canon - DW4880 wireless scanner, printer, copier and fax. Updated model but doesn't have the performance of the 4370. It is not color output but will scan and store color images.

I also scanned my dl with no problems. It reported an "overlap" and gave me the options to rescan. It's not something I'd want to do too often as it may cause problems down the road with the rollers.

When scanning are you running it through the document feeder or scanning from the glass? As regards scanning to other PCs are the units you are trying to scan to all connected via a network?

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.

I use it on my Win8 laptop fine on the good side its 400 dpi optical resolution, not super high but good enough, especially if you want to grab some text. The 11.7" x 16.5" maximum scan size lets you capture a large area. On the bad side is the "Scan Button" on the side is very easy to hit with your thumb when using as a regular mouse, then you have to cancel out to get back to what you were doing. All-in-All very good if you will be using it. USB 2.0 only Plus they have a website where you can get any new drivers.

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.

It will scan up to 50 inches at 300 dpi, or 25 inches at 600 dpi. Width, of course, is limited by the width of the device. You can download the manual at the Vupoint site for more information.

All images are scanned in "one pass" although Silverfast uses two if I'm not mistaken: one for highs and one for lows. I use the Epson software. If you're referring to the physical dimensions of the media you place on the glass, it's about the same as a standard sheet of copy paper. I just placed a sheet on the platen to make sure. You really can't go by the width and height of the glass. It's the width and travel of the scanning head itself. If your media is larger you'll have to scan in sections and stitch it together in Photoshop. Pretty easy to do.

i am very happy with hpm177fw for my needs. tho it will not scan legal size docs.

It will scan anything that you can lay flat however file sizes tend to be large even on the lowest resolution setting. It does not scan water marks and holographs,

Maximum size negatives or transparencies for scanning without having to piece scans together is 2.7" x 9.5", according to Epson's website. It will not scan 4" x 5" film in a single scan. This can be problematic/time-consuming is you have more than a few large originals you wish to piece together (with Adobe Photoshop's Photomerge or other software).

At an estimated 200 dpi and up (it doesn't actually let you know how high it goes, another limitation as far as I'm concerned), it actually scans at a moderate rate, not too fast and not too slow. Trouble is, I've relied on it for for crisp scans at 200 dpi and up, and it just doesn't do it very well. It wouldn't bother me if the sources were not the greatest resolution to start with, but they are, and the scanner just doesn't do them justice even at the highest resolution.
