how do you scan legal size documents on a 8720

[BramwellII]

I want to scan a legal document but only able to scan 81/2 X 11 sheets.  Is it possible to scan legal size documents.

Apologies for jumping in unannounced.

What else?

How can this be done?

The PRINTER supports this option using the ADF.

The scan legal size option is not (at this writing) available in the less robust Mobile printing application.

The Specs indicate the following sizes are supported in Windows (and likely MacOS).

If you are using the ADF...

Scan Size Maximum (ADF, Imperial)	8.5 x 14 in
Scan Size Maximum (ADF,metric)	215 x 355 mm
Scan Size Maximum (flatbed, imperial)	8.5 x 14 in
Scan Size Maximum (flatbed, metric)	216 x 356 mm

IF you can get to a Windows or MacOS computer, you can likely have what you want.
