How can I resize an image using the app?

[GBBBB]

I need to scan, then enlarge or reduce for printing. How can I resize using the app?  I can do it on the printer itself, but I'd like to do it in the app, since the screen is so small.

What is the "app" to which you refer?

There are perhaps a couple of things going on.

I would guess you are scanning using the Full Feature Software to scan - which works, and does provide a rather small window of the scanned data.

Example

9025_HP_Scan_menu_JPEG_1

Scan the image in as the actual size and save it, you can print that image at the size you want on any supported paper size.

Scanning Options for Windows 8.x

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

• Download-Save-Install   HP Scan and Capture

 Scan and Capture does not "resize" to "larger", though it does (if you ever wanted to do so) allow you to crop the image.

The scan preview is nicely sized, at least, so you can see what is going on.

Partial Example

Scan_and_Capture_Crop_1

Printing Options

Once the item is scanned and saved as a .jpg file, you can open the file in any appropriate image viewing / printing software and print the file as you like.

This can be easy or more complicated depending on which software you want to use.

Simple Options include

•  Paint (mspaint)

General Example - Borderless printing

Reminder:  Not supported on all printers, where supported, might be supported only on selected paper sizes.

Note: The effect can be used on a smaller portion (rectangle selection) of an image, as well as the entire image.
