No. It only scans documents, photos, etc, that are 8 1/2 inches X 11 inches or smaller.

Maximum scan area is 8.5x11.7. However it has "stitch" technology meaning it can scan larger documents section by section.

Limited to scanning 8 1/2 x 11 at a time. I think Can be saved as PDF. Haven't done much with it yet.

Well A3 size is 16.5 x 11.7 in. I would not recommend buying this scanner. The vendor offers very little support. We ditched ours and bought an Epson Workforce WF-7510. It can print and scan up to 13 x 19 and it costs less than $200. We use it on both Windows 7 and Mac OS Mountain Lion.

It will scan just about everything. You need select the advanced menu if your stuff is odd sized. I have scanned odd sized slides, the old style film strips, negatives of odd size as well. there are some trade offs- since it only comes with the 3 presized holders, it is a bit finicky, but it works.

Yes it will scan legal size documents, via the auto paper feed. Will also scan & print double sided docs in one operation. As well, two sheets canbe double sided, also in one operation.

this scanner can scan pages up to size 11 x 17 inches; so yes, letter size (8.5 x 11 inch) paper will fit.

Yes it can. Even longer pages can be scanned. You are just limited on the width to 8.5.

Yes. If you use the feeder at the top of the machine it will scan legal size docs. It gives you the option to select the type of file jpeg, pdf etc. My only issue with this printer is that it seems to use ink rather quickly. My boss can't type so he asks that I print all his emails daily and thus the ink runs out quicker than I would like.

I just ran some tests w 11x17. Fits on platen with room to spare. The scanner does pick up the full 11" width. However it seems to stop 5/8" short of the entire length. That is true for both Tabloid 11x17 and A3 settings in the software. Not sure if I am missing something in the software or if this is truly a limitation of this scanner. All other things considered, I am very happy with this unit, and that is after having several Brother MFCs over the years.

Theres' not enough memory in the scanner to scan much over an 8.5 x 11 page. I tried scanning a larger music book page and it had problems. I never did get a good scan, so I doubt it will do a full newspaper page. Disappointing, I know.

Not sure what you mean by documents. It will only scan up to 11 inches wide. Maybe you mean will it tear up a document when the document is put into the scanner? If so, you can buy clear document protector sheets to put the documents into to scan. Not sure where you can buy them, but probably on Amazon!

The scan bar is only about 8" wide. You can scan longer than 11", but you might have a problem viewing it afterwards. I recommend scanning by sections anything larger than 8 1/2 by 11.

I'm three states away from the scanner at present, but the bed looks like it is 11 by 17 inches. I would think the specs would say what the maximum size is.

According to the "Advanced User's Guide", (downloadable at the Brother website) yes you can scan 11 x 17 and scale it down to 8.5 x 11. (64%)

Yes, we have scanned everything from 5X7 all the way down to wallet size photos and slides. Worked great so far.

If you use the scan bed you are restricted to 8.5 x 11. If you scan via the auto document feed you can scan legal size documents.
