HP Scan Software Too Small to be Unusable

[Murko]

The scanning GUI is super tiny, basically unusable. 

All other programs on computer adjust properly to my screen resolution and size appropriately. 

Changing screen resolutions, font sizes etc on the fly for this one (and only GUI) and then changing back after a scan is simply not practical.  Using the magnifier is also very problematic.

What 'hotfix'/patch is available from HP to correct for this issue?

The HP Scan preview is not very large to begin with.

If you have a very high-resolution screen, it gets worse.

There is no "hot fix".

Try / Consider

Use an alternate scan application / software that provides a larger image of your content.

Windows 10 provides provides several options, most of which are compatible with a large number of Inkjet printers.

Examples...

HP Scan and Capture - Microsoft Store (formally Windows Store) - Requires Windows 8 or higher

• Download-Save-Install   HP Scan and Capture

 Scan_and_Capture_Crop_1

HP Smart for Windows - Print and scan software

• Download-Save-Install >  HP Printers - Using the HP Smart App (Windows 10)

 HP_Smart_W10_Scan_Edit_Document_1

Webscan – located in the Embedded Web Server (EWS) – No additional software

NOTE:  Webscan feature  is not available on Laser printers

If the printer is on the network,

If the EWS feature is available on your printer,

• Open your favorite browser > type / enter Printer IP address into URL / Address bar
• Tab Settings > Security > Administrator Settings > make sure Webscan is checked / enabled
• Click Apply to save any changes

Next

• Tab Scan > Webscan 
• Set up Webscan the way you want it - for example, set the Source to ADF - Scan a test document using Webscan

EWS_9025_Webscan_Settings_Security_Administrator_2EWS_9025_Webscan_1

Paint (mspaint)

• Find software on your computer >  Paint
• Navigate to the folder in which you saved your image / photo file >
• Right-Click on the filename >
• Open with > Paint
