How to enlarge text when printing from a copy on my HP6055e printer

Welcome to the HP Community --

The printer is unaware of what it is printing.

If you are printing from your browser, increase the Scale of the output.

Check in the Print > Settings to adjust the scale before clicking to submit the job to the printer.

Printing from a copy?

Might mean you are using Copy to make a duplicate of a paper copy?

Read Chapter 6 - Copy and Scan

Starting on Page 56

COPY is limited to the settings available on the printer - on this printer, it might be just number of copies and whether the copy is printed in color.  Resize is not always offered and is dependent on the printer model.

If using your mobile device and the camera, the settings are limited to those in the app.

Generally, this type of action is limited to filling the page on which the scanned content will be saved.

If you wish to ONLY scale the text larger, open the document in its original format and change the font used in that document.  For example, if you have a Word document and the original Font is Ariel at size twelve - change the font size (for example) to Ariel at 14.  Save the document.  Print / COPY / Scan at 100% size - Fit or Filled to paper.

The best option (in most cases):

Scan content at the original size > Save to your device (computer, tablet, phone).

Print at the best size available to the app / software on the device you are using.

For example, Windows apps or print software provides the most robust "print to size" options.

Content can be printed at whatever size you deem appropriate, using one of more sheets of paper depending on the scale.

General Example - Windows - Adobe Reader DC - PDF Print - Poster

PDF_Document_Poster_Compare_Tile_2
