The Full Feature Scan utility window is very small

[Fig305]

I was using HP smart but I wanted more scan features.  I read  about getting Full Feature drivers. So I downloaded and installed driver HPEasyStart_12_9_8. It works but the Scan utility window is very small.   About 2 inches wide. Almost can't see the fonts.

I already tried changing the laptop screen settings  "Text & App scaling" . This does effect the scan utility window (makes it larger) but it messes up all other apps and program views, so that is not a solution. I tried holding the ctrl key and scrolling the mouse wheel to resize but this did not work on this app. 

I still have the old HP Smart scan utility and that still looks OK, normal size. Just not many features. The main laptop screen resolution is 3840 by 2400.

Any help is appreciated.

HP Scan is likely not written to run on very high resolution screens.

This means the software cannot adapt.

Right after the scan completes,

Double-Tap on the tiny image of the scan in the upper left corner.

What is available will pop-open a larger image.

Although you cannot scale up the entire scan preview window, you can slide the bar on the bottom to magnify the image.

What else?

HP Scan and Capture provides a larger default scan preview screen.

I do not know whether the application can adjust to a very high resolution screen.

Windows provides the Magnifier

Nice feature, though it can be tricky to get it the way you want it.

Thank you Dragon-Fur. I installed the "HP Scan and Capture" that you suggested. It has some nice features like Crop and Rotate that the HP Smart does not have. I will probably be using this for most scanning.

Although "HP Scan and Capture" does not have the OCR  and other advanced features of the HP Full Feature driver. Hopefully HP will update the old Full Feature driver so that the utility windows sizes better with higher resolution displays. 

You also mentioned Windows magnifier. It didn't work out as you suspected because it just magnifies everything, but you did remind me that I used to have a mouse with a magnifier button. I am going to get one of those and it will get me thru for now.

Thanks again

You are welcome.

HP Smart does include some editing tools - these are not actually hidden but you do need to know where to click.

Smiling.

Caveat:

At this writing, HP Smart Scan to PDF (Document) is plagued with a bug that increases the page size AND the file size in the saved file.  The "fix" is in the works at HP - hopefully we will see a new release of the application around mid-June that eliminates the issue.

Example - HP Smart Windows - Edit

Open HP Smart Windows

Select to Scan Photo

Find and open the photo you want to scan

After the initial scan is complete and before you save / share, 

Click the "..." and open the scanned content for Edits

HP_Smart_W10_Scan_Edit_Image_Set_4

Example - HP Smart Mobile - Scan Image - Edit > Crop

Open HP Smart Mobile

Select to Scan Photo

Find and open the photo you want to scan

After the initial scan is complete and before you save / share, 

Click the little "Adjust" icon > Open the scanned content for Edits
