Enlarging the copy can be helpful if the document you are trying to copy is not large enough for the paper size inserted in the paper tray. With your HP printer, you can reduce or enlarge the copy size up to 400%. However, the process to enlarge the copies varies depending upon the model of your printer.

Enlarge Copy on Printers With Touch Panel

If your HP printer comes with a touchscreen control panel, follow these steps to enlarge the copies.

  1. Load some papers in the input tray.
  2. Open the scanner assembly lid.
  3. Place the document you want to copy over the scanner bed and make sure the side you want to copy faces the downside.
    Also, do not place it in the corners of the scanner bed. Always leave some space on the sides. Otherwise, a part of your document will be cut off in the printout.
  4. Close the scanner lid.
  5. Now go to the touch panel of your printer and tap the Copy button.

  6. On the next screen, tap Options.

  7. Select Reduce/Enlarge.

  8. Tap the Manual option. It will pop up an on-screen keyboard.

Enlarge Copy on Printers With Up/Down Buttons

  3. Close the scanner lid.
  4. Now press the Copy options button. It will show 0 on display.
