System: Win XP Pro Sp2

I'd like to be able to scan legal-size documents. Actually, I'd like
to be able to scan documents of any length, for instance long (but
thin) newspaper articles, using the ADF. It seems as though this
should be possible b/c the paper is passed over the scanning device.

But the only option I get is the "WIA" option in the "scan" dialog
window. Not sure if it matters, but I've tried this on a Brother
MFC-9600 & MFC-8420 using Paperport 9.0 pro.

Does anyone know whether this can be done?

If not, is it a Windows constraint?
If so, are there plans to address it?

Thank you,

Jesse

Having same problem with Brother MFC-9200C.
But Brother MFC-8500 does NOT have this problem.
Apparrently Micro$oft left this paper size out.
And brother has totally stepped out of the solution putting all the
burden on the M$ WIA interface.

Does anyone know of any software that has it's own drivers that may
solve this need?

This is all that brother has.

There is one thing that you might try. Set the Printer to Legal size paper
and see if the scanner will then scan legal size.

It may be that the scanner only scans Max size of what the Printer is set
to.
