I am using HP Scan to scan to email. When I open the HP Scan application it is very small ( 3" X 5".) I cannot see a way to enlarge the window. HELP please.

right-click on HP Scan > More > Open file location >

now you see C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\HP\HP ColorLaserJet MFP M278-M281

the shortcut: HP Scan > right-click > Properties

In Run: "Normal window" << you can change to "Maximized" > OK or Apply

then test > double-click on this shortcut.
Is the App HP Scan displayed larger?
