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.

Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

When I choose Apps and then scan to email, the ADF (automatic document feeder) pulls the legal sized document, scans it, and sends it to my email.
But the image I get has a few inches of blank at the top, and cuts off the bottom. Any idea why?
It scans normal sized paper (8.5x11") just fine, just not legal sized paper.

Welcome to the HP Community --

 

Not sure, though (as you know) there there is a size limitation for scanning two-sided.

Assuming the document is one-sided, the larger (legal) size is supported.

If one-sided and legal size will not "Scan to Email" it might have to do with how Apps > Scan to Email limits the size / setups.

?

 

Can you Scan the larger size document (single sided),  Save the scanned content to your computer / device, then (separately open your email and) Email the file?
