Yes, it probably is legal size. My pevious (arco) scanner. The Lexmark
All in one is more square. I just photocopied some legal papers for someone,
a few were "legal size" and had do each one twice, top and bottom (didn't
put them together)

>>> Not as easily as it sounds, in my limited experience. Perhaps it gets
easier with practise.

Someone showed me how to do this when I was just starting out with scanners
(and Paint Shop Pro). Using canvas size (making it bigger) and adding the
2nd part to it (zoomed in as much as possible to show where it would line
up) We were scanning comic book art pages on drawing board that wouldn't fit
on all at once. The 2nd part can be moved around till it lines up exactly.
One can overlap the other.

I'm glad I didn't know it wasn't easy when I learned it (LOL)

Not sure, an actual photo might be different, but most photos aren't that
big so I've not (yet) had to do it.
