How do I control the scan area on a HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 Wide Format All-In-One Printer?

[DLKeil]

I have a HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 Wide Format All-In-One Printer.   The HP Smart (115.1.152.0) software I have seems to allow me to only set the scan area to a standard paper size.  However,  I want to set the area scanned to a custom set of values (say 13 by 9 or so) so that I do not have to crop the scan later.   How can I do this?  

Thanks in advance

You need to crop using different software, you can only scan in standard paper sizes.

Hi,

Download and install the HP Full Feature Software for your printer by following HP Easy Start:

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/printers/HPEasyStart_11_5_4644_17.exe

Using HP Scan, set the Scan Type as Photo and the Source as Flatbed Glass.

Then you may either select a Custom Size and select the required custom size, or set the size as Auto Detect Size so the object will be cropped automatically.

Thank you Schlomil,  very much appreciated.  I downloaded the software you recommended and with you your suggestions I was able to get the functionality that I was promised when I first talked with HP Sales.    Just wish HP included this in their default software!
