How do I scan and copy legal-sized papers on my device? I've tried every configuration I can think of...

Hello,

 

Hope you are fine, you can go to the copy menu, then select the setting gear icon on the bottom left and select Original size to change it to legal and tray selection depending where the paper is loaded , then scroll down and save the changes and run the copy.

 

Thanks,

I am an HP employee

That would work, except THERE IS NO OPTION FOR LEGAL SIZE ON THE LIST OF CHOICES.

 

I am really regretting my purchase of this device.

One thing we have found with this series, if you do not have paper you are going to copy onto  loaded and the tray size set for legal you likely will not see the legal option in the copy menus.

If you find the information provided useful or solves your problems, help other users find the solution easier by giving kudos and marking my post as an accepted solution.

THANK YOU!  This is the only thing that has helped. 

 

However, it's a ridiculous series of steps to have to go through to get a legal-sized copy. We're a public library, and all of our computers default to printing from Tray 1, which is the only one that will take the larger paper. So we have to leave it set for regular paper 99% of the time. Which makes it a real hassle to set up a legal copy the 2-3 times  a year we get a request...

 

Still regretting this purchase.
