HP Scan and Printer: Understanding the Issues with File Size and Page Size

If you're experiencing issues with file size and page size when scanning documents using HP Smart, you're not alone. Many users have reported that their scanned documents are creating larger than expected files and pages. In this article, we'll explore the causes of this issue and provide some temporary solutions until a permanent fix is released.

Firstly, it's important to understand that Windows 10 in S mode has limited capabilities when it comes to installing applications. This means that you can only install apps from the Microsoft Store, which limits your options for scanning documents. If you're using Windows 10 in S mode, you'll need to use alternative software to scan documents.

One temporary solution is to reduce the file size by reducing the resolution or dpi of the scan. For example, if you're scanning at 600 DPI, try reducing it to 300 DPI or less. This should help to reduce the file size and make it more manageable.

Another option is to use a paid service to correct the file structure. This may involve using software that can optimize your scanned documents for better compression and reduced file size.

It's also worth noting that if you're experiencing issues with file size and page size when scanning PDF files, it may be due to a bug in the HP Smart software. Further details on this issue will be provided later in this article.

In the meantime, if you need to scan documents but can't use HP Smart, there are other options available. You can try using alternative software or apps that allow you to scan and print documents with ease.

The HP Smart team is working on a solution to this issue, which is expected to be released in mid-June as part of a new version release. In the meantime, we hope these temporary solutions help to alleviate some of the frustration caused by oversized file sizes and pages.
