They are also small, but not as small and compressed as the 8 1/2 x 11 pages. Help, please! When I have set up scanning on the printer and send it to the computer via USB. It always creates a letter sweep and cuts the bottom. Therefore, neither method of creating legal-sized analyses works.

When I scan them through the charger, the output is all 11 x 17. Thus, the person who receives the scanned pages prints them all and prints them all on tabloid paper.
