Scan in Landscape instead of portrait

[Jmorman]

Need advice as to the HP ENVY 7640's ability to scan in landscape mode.

Trying to scan a 3 panel golf scorecard which 12" X 6"

Thanks,

Hi,

Please try to put the originals on the glass with a right direction first. What is the output ? pdf file or jpg image ? You can always rotate them.

Regards.

My original is 12" X 6"

i aligned it properly, but apparently on the 7640 the scanning area is 8 1/2" X 11";

this fact is the reason for my query...How to scan in 'Landscape' mode which is 11" X 14"

is there a "Settings" menu on the 7640 that I am unaware of that would enable me to change the scan 

area from 'portrait' to'landscape'?

Or, do I have to physically "trim" my original to fit the 11" length of the copy/scan area?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi,

Firstly it will scan the glass area and you can't tuen the glass. As mentioned above, you can rotate output later if you wish. Seconly it supports

 Scanner type

• Flatbed

Scan file format

• pdf, bmp, jpg, gif, tif, tif, png

Scan resolution, optical

• 1200 dpi

Bit depth

• 24-bit

Scan size, maximum

• 216 x 297 mm  (or 8.5" x 11")

Scan size (ADF), maximum

• 216 x 356 mm  (or 8.5" x 14")

Your original is 12" x 6", you need to scan from the ADF and it will come out as 6" x 12", you have to rotate the output. There is no room for 11" x 14".
