Hi @Khusur, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
If your HP DeskJet Ink Advantage Ultra 4826 is producing photocopies in a reduced size, here are some steps to troubleshoot and fix the issue:

Check Copy Settings on Printer

• On the printer's control panel, ensure that the Copy Size setting is set to 100% (actual size).
• Some HP printers allow you to adjust the copy size via a menu option. If available, check for a Resize or Scaling option.

Ensure Correct Paper Size

• Make sure the paper loaded in the tray matches the size set in the printer settings (e.g., A4 or Letter).
• If the paper size is mismatched, the printer might automatically reduce the copy to fit the detected paper size.

Use the HP Smart App for Copying

• Open the HP Smart app on your computer or mobile device.
• Use the Mobile Copy or Scan & Copy feature, where you can adjust the size before printing.

Reset the Printer

• Turn off the printer and unplug it from power for 60 seconds.
• Plug it back in and turn it on to see if the issue is resolved.

Update Printer Firmware

• Visit the HP Support Website and download any firmware updates for your printer.

Perform a Factory Reset

If the issue persists, reset your printer to factory settings:

• Press and hold the Cancel (X) button and the Wireless button together for about 5-10 seconds until the printer resets.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
