HP Scan panel too small

[adam3544]

HP Scan control panel is too small. Is anyway to make it bigger ?

[Valsimot]

There is no option to enlarge the control panel icons.

Apologies for jumping in unannounced.

HP Scan is an older program and it's never been upgraded to work with very high resolution displays.

True - the situation is not ideal.

What to do?

Windows Magnifier can be used to view HP Scan.

Settings > Accessibility > Magnifier

What else?

I do not know this Laser product -- the following might be "on mark" or perhaps a failure.

A couple of alternatives ...

HP Smart - Windows - Application

HP Scan and Capture - Windows - Application

Both applications support a home screen and menus that can be scaled.

(For example, Grab the lower right corner to stretch)

Thank you. My previous printer was M477 and the HP Scan panel was really big on the same 32" monitor and under Windows 11, 64bit.

You are welcome -

Interesting that the HP Scan printer software is so different.

The container (the code that controls the HP Scan software GUI) would have to be different.

So, there you go.
