Common problems HP Solution Center not working : Adobe Flash Player Error and Unable to scan
We would like to share some of the most frequently asked questions about HP Solution Center not working : Adobe Flash Player Error and Unable to Scan.

Hello. I'm trying to scan Legal sized sheets with my Laser Jet Pro M426fdw.  I am running MacOS 15 Sequoia.  

 

I have tried scanning every permutation of image/document/quality via Image Capture, Preview, HP Easy Scan, HP Smart, and the printer's on-board Scan-to-Network feature.  All of which successfully scan, but only Letter size; none will generate a full-size legal scan from the flatbed.  Which, to be clear, is full 8.5x14 legal sized flatbed.  They all crop off the last three inches no matter what I do.

 

Furthermore, even if I set the network scan to the legal size option, and save the setting via the web portal or via the on-board printer settings itself, it never scans legal and it never saves the legal size setting.

 

How do I make a legal-sized scan on the legal-sized flatbed of the M426fdw?

The flatbed glass on this model is only 11 inches long so does not support legal size. You can copy legal size through the automatic document feeder only.
