No, but this has nothing to do with the scanner - the ratio of width/length is different between those two formats. SO a 4x5 could be enlarged to an 8x10 without distortion or cropping - anything else will require some kind of adjustment. It's just math.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No - that's not the purpose of the scanner. When you scan in the 4x5 (say, at 600 dpi) the JPEG file saved is just that. But of course you can then open that file in the post-processing software of your choice and enlarge/crop/export it to whatever size you wish. And of course a 4x5 cannot be enlarged into an 8.5x11 without a little cropping anyway, as the two proportions are not exactly the same.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not being absolutely sure what you want to accomplish, so how I answer may or may not help. This is what I have found: if you use Document Capture software which comes with the device you can choose to have the scanned image saved in letter size pdf format. The original image will be placed into an 8.5 x 11 pdf document with the scanned image size almost the same as your original 4 x 5 (I used 4 x 6 since that is what I had readily available) document, but slightly smaller. I do not know why that happens. If you scan the 4 x 5 original and set the software setting at "auto" it will create a pdf document with the image exactly at the same size as the original. This would be a great question to ask Epson, which I will do, but that may not be timely for you.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Have not tried it but believe I'd does.
