If the point is just to make it bigger, or make it reproducible, then
you can scan it and save as TIFs or PDFs, depending on your software.
The only reason to get it into Finale would be if you wanted to edit
the notes, and to do that you'd have to first scan it and then import
it, and importing the scans into Finale really doesn't work so well.

Scanning will undoubtedly take you much more time than photocopying
and may not give you results as good.
Or you could just buy the larger size score from Amazon:
