The function exists, but generally there is no interest in
reducing the size of media wasted. I can find all sorts of
single-sided examples to 8.5x11. This one happens to be double sided,
but the paper is set to 8.5x11, and I don't know if
the device would do a copy, if a smaller size of media was
placed in the paper tray. Most devices are smart enough to
notice the paper is the wrong size. You also have to consider
the size of the file cabinet these will be placed in, and
whether the other paperwork for the client is already
8.5x11.

Not all source material copies with equal ease.
Car registrations may contain anti-copy measures.
This may place a moire pattern in the output print.

A business card copier, the area scanned may be too
small to cover the registration well. The drivers
license card might scan OK.
