Is there a way to scan longer documents than the preset Automatic Feed settings? I am trying to scan Auto Sales Agreements and Bills of Sale and the scanner stops and forces the remainder of the ducment through while giving a misfeed error. The document is much longer than legal size.
Thanks for any information
Dan

Its specs only syas scan from glass area and max is A4 but please tey
1. Click on the icon on desktop to launch the software;
2. Click on Scan to open the scan dialog, a new window opens.
3. Click on Document to File;
4. Go to the bottom-most drop down selection box and choose Automatic Document Feeder;
5. Go back up to the top-most drop down box named Scan Size, and choose Legal (8.5 x 14 inches);

Thank you for the information, I was trying to scan a 28" document. I finally found the max settings, so my work around was to scan as one document on the glass and adjust to continue the document. It worked well enough.
Thanks again;

A few years ago I see where acousticman9119 Dan was able to scan a document 8.5" x 28". The setup only goes up to 14 and wanted to find out if he would be able to address how. Or, if anyone else has a way to do that. If using a document top loader out to be able to scan any length. Anyone have an idea. HP 8620

If I remember correctly, I scanned on the glass in sections setting the scan options to make one document. It is similar to scanning multiple pages into one file but using the flatbed not the feeder. I would have to try to recreate it to get the exact steps but I did get the document into one file at least, as I remember.
