HP ENVY 7640 e-All-in-One Printer series

Print size, including the overall document and the size of the fonts in the document, is controlled within the application (program) you use to submit the job to the printer.

Browsers, document editors, PDF Readers, and photo viewing / printing programs all provide some form of "Print Preview", Properties, or Page Setup to allow you adjust the size and other important settings.

If you have not done so:

• Download, save, and install the Full Feature Software for your printer and Operating System:

EN7640__Full_WebPack_1107.exe

(103.0 MB)

• When the installation is complete, Restart the computer and log in.

Examples

Adjust a full webpage view before printing the webpage / document:

PC: 

Ctrl +    (Control key and Plus key at the same time > page contents larger)

Ctrl -     (Control key and Dash key together > page contents smaller)

Ctrl 0    (Control key and 0 (zero) > reset page to Default)

Mac OS

** Cmd +      larger 

     Cmd  -     smaller

** Command key
