Make sure that the input media size is large enough for the original that you are
scanning.

If you are using the HP software, the default settings in the HP software might be
set to automatically perform a specific task other than the one that you are
attempting. See the onscreen Help for the HP software for instructions about
changing the properties.

crops the image. However, if you want to scan the entire page, complete the
following steps:

Advanced Picture Settings, and then select Scan the entire glass.
Mac OS X: From the HP Scan software, click Scan, select the Picturesscan
profile, click Profile Settings, and then clear the Cropcheck box.
