When I scan a legal document, it comes out as letter size. How can I fix this?
Make sure that you set the paper size in the setup menu for legal - 8.5 x 14 for the manual paper feed.
This is from the manual
Changing the settings for each scan job
Your machine provides you with the following setting options to allow you
customize your scan jobs.
Scan Size: Sets the image size.
Original Type: Sets the original document’s type.
Resolution: Sets the image resolution.
Scan Color: Sets the color mode.
Scan Format: Sets the file format in which the image is to be saved.
If you select TIFF or PDF, you can select to scan multiple pages.
Depending on the selected scan type, this option may not appear.
To customize the settings before starting a scan job:
Press Scan/Email.
Press Menu until Scan Feature appears on the bottom line of the
display and press OK.
Press the Scroll buttons until the scan type you want appears and
press OK.
Press the Scroll buttons until the scan setting option you want
appears and press OK.
Press the Scroll buttons until the desired status appears and press
OK.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 to set other setting options.
When you have finished, press Stop/Clear to return to Standby
mode.
Changing the default scan settings
To avoid having to customize the scan settings for each job, you can set
up default scan settings for each scan type.
Press Scan/Email.
Press Menu until Scan Setup appears on the bottom line of the
display and press OK.
Press OK when Change Default appears.
Press the Scroll buttons until the scan type you want appears and
press OK.
Press the Scroll buttons until the scan setting option you want
appears and press OK.
Press the Scroll buttons until the desired status appears and press
OK.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 to change other settings.
To change the default settings for other scan types, press Back
and repeat from step 4.
Hope it helps
For my solution please be aware you have to have the MFP on the scan mode for the scan feature to appear when you hit the menu button. I just noticed that.

I JUST FOUND YOU SOLUTION. THE SETTINGS FOR THE SCAN SIZE HAS TO BE SET IN THE PC USING THE NETWORK SCAN MANAGER. OPEN THE NETWORK SCAN MANAGER, GO TO PREFERENCES, GO TO THE BOTTOM TO SCAN PROPERTY AND ADJUST THE SCAN SIZE TO LEGAL. I JUST DID A LEGAL SCAN TO PFD USING THIS METHOD. I THINK THAT AS LONG AS THE SETTING UNDER THE NETWORK SCAN MANAGER REMAINS AS LEGAL EVERY DOCUMENT YOU SCAN IS SCANNED AS LEGAL. GOOD LUCK. LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKS FOR YOU.

I've already done this. Still doesn't work, and the problem is isolated only to scanned legal size docs to MY DOCUMENTS, not USB, not email.
