@Arleneakakitty,

Welcome to the HP Forums 🙂 I would like to take a moment and thank you for using this forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience on the HP forum, you could also visit our HP Forums Guide for First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. I understand you are in need of support. I'll be glad to help you out.

To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:

Have you checked the Printer specifications for the scan supported size. If you haven't gone through, please click here for Printer specifications.

In the meantime, If  you are using the correct paper size, then I would suggest you follow the steps suggested in the support document for - HP Printers - How to Scan (Windows)

If you're using a paper which is not supported, then I would suggest there is no option to resize it. 

I hope this information helps. Let me know if you need any further assistance. I'll be more than happy to help you.

Keep me posted,

that said, If the information I've provided was helpful,

@Jeet_singh has provided the solution :  If the paper is longer than what is supported, you cannot scan the document / image into the computer at a single pass (single scan).

There is a workaround you can try - whether this is of interest depends on whether the hassle is worth the result.

See this Reference Thread (which, in turn, references yet another thread relating a similar request):

How to scan a 19" long by 8" wide image to my computer

I have yet to receive any excited response to the workaround.  Smiling.  It does work - I have had to do this.  The method is rather a lot of work for a document / scan.   It might be easier to take the document to a local Print Service (Staples?) and have the document / image professionally scanned to a USB drive.
