Tabloid is not offered as a paper size to scan with my OfficeJet Pro 7740 Need true to scale

[theowlandkey]

I need to be able to scan an 11x17 (tabloid) paper and be true to size after scanned.

I use the flatbed or scanner glass setting but it will shrink my scan (of the entire scan glass) to the 11x17 not the actual paper I need to scan.

I draw full size scale drafting drawings and need to be able to email these full scale to clients. Is there another solution I am missing?

Adding the paper size to the "Paper Selection" would be very helpful.

Hi,

Have you tried setting the Source as Flatbed Glass and then creating a custom Scan Size?

Don't you see a Ledger option in the sizes list? it is identical to Tabloid, (A3 is slightly wider and shorter than Tabloid/Ledger)

If not, select Custom from the sizes, select Inches and set an 11 wide x 17 long, then click OK.

You may also save the settings as a shortcut, the Custom setting should remain as default, even if selecting another custom size for another shortcuts.

No ledger size in list. Largest paper size offered is 8.5x11

I have recently downloaded the HP Scan doctor and it now gives me an actual HP Scan Program i can use that has all these custom options. Thank you.
