How to downsize print from a HP7740

[Oreagle]

Hello.. How can I reduce print from scanner to 50% or so from original size.. I have been trying for a couple of hours.. Is it possible the HP7740 does not allow to size actual print up or down from scanner// All of my last HP's had the info on the PC and or LCD touch screen.. Thank you for your time... John

@Oreagle Greetings from the HP Community!

Try these steps :

1. From the Printer Front Panel > select Copy > Document

2. Go to Settings (gear icon) > select Resize > Custom (select the %, increase to enlarge and decrease to reduce and then tap on Done).  There are also some preset settings to use if those suit your needs.

3. Tap on Return  icon (on the left) 3 times to return to the "Start Black or Start Color" display.  

4. Tap "Start Black or Start Color" (depending on whether copying Black or Color) and the copying will start.

These other specific resources on the printer should be useful:

Thank you.. I did not see your response .. It worked perfectly.. I don't know why I did not see the settings Icon before as I have ONLY used HP printers and laptops for well over 20 years.. Again Thank you for your time.. John
