I looked online, but cannot figure out how to scan a photo and enlarge it to 8 1/2" X 11".  My students are making a collage and the pictures I took of the school I need to be blown up to this size. Can anyone help me.  Is it doable?

Hi,

 

The Copy function allows you to reduce or enlarge originals from 25% to 400% but the Scan function does not have this tool, you only get the original size. Do you need a soft copy or hard copy ?

 

(a) For soft copy: please use other photo/image editor to blow up (note: the quality may reduce),

(b) For hard copy: Please use HP Photo Creations to print, you will get better result than using blow up copy. Please download HP Photo Creations from the following link and install to your computer(s):
