Title: Scanning, copying and printing
Post by: Old Cruser on July 20, 2014, 03:52:44 PM

Boy am I having problems  :(

I have a hand written document I need to scan, copy ( larger than actual document and then print.

Just can't seem to get it larger except for once but then it took off a bit of the writing to th left side.

I'm not sending the original!
Can't seem to solve what I'm doing wrong.
Anyone advise me please?  :(

Try scanning the document at 300 pixels per inch, then print, in bits, at 150 pixels per inch. Then glue the bits together - it should come out twice the size of the original.

What about enlarging the scanned picture with PIXresizer you can download it here from their site

http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm (http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm)

When installed it will look like this

Under the picture it will give you the original size in this case 160x128 just choose a custom size and tick maintain apect ratio then choose a bigger size save in the format you want jpeg etc.
You may have to alter custom size till it suits your needs.
