How do I resize / scale an image?

[I_GiveUp2]

There is no interface with this copier. Not on the printer or in the phone app. Just dummy buttons.

• How do I resize / scale an image?

There is no "button" for that. Scaling images has been a standard on copiers since the 1960's.  Did HP get rid of the basics?

.

I should have bought an Epson. The sales guy talked me into this. Big regret.

What you consider the basics are still available on HP printer models that include the features.

It sounds like a circular statement but it is true for any printer manufacturer -

Printers come in different models

and

Different models include and support different features and options.

The salesperson sold you a printer model that lacks a full touchscreen Printer Control Panel and the features that might accompany the full service panel.

What to do?

Do what you must, I think.

Keep the printer after learning more about its limitations and features

OR

Return the printer for a different model - HP or other -- We do not judge.

Next time, examine the printer - perhaps read the specifications to get a better idea what the printer can do.

Ask questions --

For example,

Does the printer copy 2-sided ?

Does the printer copy and Resize ?

Does the printer include a touchscreen full service Printer Control Panel

Does the printer support automatic 2-sided printing?

Does the printer support automatic 2-sided scanning?  (Many do NOT)

If you decide to keep the printer, take a look at the user manual.

===========================================

You can interact with this printer using other tools that take the place of the front panel.

Is "everything" you want available on this printer?

Perhaps not -- it depends on what you are doing.

-------------------------------------------------

COPY is a printer function.

On this printer, there is no way to Resize copies as they are made.

There is no app or software alternative -- Copy is as you have found it.

Are the missing resize options a direct consequence of the missing touchscreen Printer Control Panel?

No idea - the printer mechanics might not have had Resize regardless -- doesn't matter, it's not there now.

-------------------------------------------------

Scan is a bit smarter using an application on your phone - the application must include the feature you want.

"Scale" is illusive using HP Smart --

Scanned content as created at the size found -- you can change some aspects of the scan (for example, Crop, Color, Add Text, Filters, and Markup)

"Scale" is not one of the options.

NOTE:

This printer model is eligible for Smart Advance - premium features normally only available with HP+.

General Example - HP Smart - Scan settings / options

HP_Smart_Mobile_Scan_PDF-Image_Options_8

-------------------------------------------------

Print

For the most part, the printed output follows the size of the paper.

You can print as "Original" or "Fit"

iPadOS includes a manual resize option -- nice but not useful for accuracy.
