Scanned images are enlarged so 1 letter size pg becomes 6 pgs to get the whole document.

The scanning resolution may be set too high.

Try to look at preview first and then see the options you have. I cannot see your screen but you have options in the scanner. Play with them. Experiment and that is how you become an "ace". Better to make mistakes and learn than have some one else tell you how with computers and printers.

Hello Steve !
The only way scanning Legal documents on this HP LJ 3030 willbe using the ADF ( Automatic Document Feeder) since the size of the flatbed its only for letter.

So, after placing the document on the automatic document feeder theres a few setting you will need to change on the printer.

Number 1 : Go to Main Menu on the printer and look for System Setup, under system set up look for Paper setup,hit ok and now look for "Def. Paper Size" and set it to "Legal"

Number 2 : you should have a button on the printer control panel (Physical printer) that says " Reduce / Enlarge" , hit it and make sure the one selected is "original=100%"

Now just hit "Start Copy" and it print LEGAL ! it worked for me

Hope this help !

You can post it as image format.

Type and print your words in any word application (example office word application).Enlarge your font,use the whole page if possible. Print the document. Scan the document and save as image file.

Now the problem is if you save the image, the file size should not exceed the required maximum size to upload by simple uploader. You can use image resizer. It can be download from the add-ons of any web browser for free. (will be found on the Tools menu of the page when click add-ons). When installed completely, right click on the image file and click resize. Use thenew image file with less file size and upload it to Facebook.

All your friends will see and read the words completely.

Let me know if you lost in the procedure so I can help you on your way to solve your problem.

Most scanners in my experience do not scan to "precisely" 8 1/2 X 11 inch letter size (assuming that was the original paper size).

A workaround is possible with some graphic programs. After importing the original incorrect scan of the document into the software a combination of resizing and/or cropping (depending on how your program works) will allow getting the exact dimensions. Then save as a new image document. Make sure to adjust for sufficient resolution (a larger document) if you plan to reprint.

Hi, scan at around 350dpi, save the image file as a jped and then import it into word or other program that will accept jpegs and you can make the image as big as you want up to A4 or letter size (depending on the paper size you use

the only way to get a little more detail out of this printer with x-rays is to INCREASE the DPI resolution. there are no other adjustments that are abailable.

Scanning Resolution<<<<-------------------------------------------------------------<<<<<<<<<<
Select the resolution at which to scan documents. The following scanning resolution can be specified:
Text(OCR): 300dpi, 400dpi
Others: 75dpi, 100dpi, 150dpi, 200dpi, 300dpi, 400dpi, 600dpi
The higher the resolution (value), the more detail in your image; the lower the resolution (value), the less detail. At high resolution, scanning takes longer and file size becomes larger than usual. See the section below for details on resolution.
