Hi @cat134,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To make letters and numbers larger on a printer screen, you need to adjust the settings on your computer or the printer's display settings. The process may vary slightly depending on the operating system you are using, but I'll provide general instructions for both Windows and macOS.

Windows.

• Right-click on an empty area of your desktop and select "Display settings."
• In the "Scale and layout" section, you'll find a slider under "Change the size of text, apps, and other items." Move the slider to the right to increase the size of letters and numbers on the screen.
• Alternatively, you can use the "Custom scaling" option and set a specific percentage to scale up the text and items.

macOS.

• Click the Apple logo in the top-left corner and select "System Preferences."
• Choose "Displays" and navigate to the "Display" tab.
• You'll see a resolution slider. Drag it to the left to decrease the resolution, effectively making everything on the screen larger.
• Another option is to click on "Scaled" and choose a lower resolution or click "More Space" to increase the display's virtual size.

Remember that adjusting the display settings will affect the appearance of all elements on the screen, not just letters and numbers. Additionally, these settings won't directly impact the printed output of your printer. For printing, you may need to adjust the font size or formatting within the application you are using to print the document.

If you want to make printed letters and numbers larger, consider increasing the font size in the document before printing or exploring the print settings in your application to adjust scaling options. The exact steps for doing this will depend on the software or application you are using to print the document.

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
