I'm having an issue with the scan tray on the all in one. Basically I only ever scan A4 paper (wirelessly), but once the data transmits from the printer to the pc, I'm finding that the PDF version on screen is too long. I then have to manually crop the size down to A4. It might not seem a huge issue when say you are scanning one or two pages, but when you have a whole stack of documents to upload, manually cropping each one to size takes a long time. The scanner never used to do this, it is a recent issue. Am I using the wrong settings or is there something wrong with the scanner itself?

- Open HP Scan.
- Click on the the gear icon.
- Click on Crop To.
- Select A4.

Hey @Mr_H1,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums.
I see that you are having some issues with scanning from your printer to your Mac OSX 10.11 machine. I can help you with that, however I am going to need some clarification first. Please let me know the full name of the printer as it appears on the label and the program you are scanning from. Once I know this I will be better able to assist you.
