Improving color copy
To improve the color copy quality, this engine provides three types of adjustment methods: color
adjustment, selecting the image reproduction method and its adjustment, and other adjustments.
The color adjustment is performed by varying the level of pigments in RGB model or CMYK model,
or by modifying the hue, saturation, and brightness of the image.
To reproduce the copy image, select one of the two methods, the Dither (error diffusion) method or
the Screen method. The Image Detection function helps in selecting the most appropriate method
for each part of the original to make the copies of scanned image.
For further improvement, use Copy Density or apply filters for Sharpness, Contrast, and Gloss
mode.
NoteFor detailed information about color adjustments, see the following subsections in the “Color Image
Adjustment” section of the HP Color 9850mfp System Administrator Guide:
Selecting density level and whitening background
Changing color using RGB and HSB values (color adjustment)
Changing colors using CMYK value (color balance adjustment)

Specifying original type
Using the scanning glass
Use the scanner glass when the originals are not suitable for use with the document feeder, for
example, when size is incompatible, or when originals are folded, stapled, torn, or generally in a
poor condition.
1Raise the document feeder.
2Place original face down in the left rear corner.
The direction of the original should conform to the Original direction icon displayed at the
upper left corner of the Main screen.
ENWWImproving color copy 13
NoteThe copy result may not be satisfactory if the original is set in wrong direction. Make sure the original
is set in the same direction as indicated by the Original direction icon, especially when making
double-sided copies or using the Staple, Stapling & Folding, Folding, or Booklet mode.
3Gently close the document feeder or platen cover to prevent the original from shifting on the
glass.
NoteWhen selecting Book Copy, Non-Image Area Erase, AUTO mode in Repeat, or AUTO Layout, do
not close the document feeder.
WARNING!Do not place originals that are too heavy, and do not press too hard when a thick original is placed and
is under pressure of the RADF (ADF). In such cases the glass may break and you may be injured.
Using the RADF (ADF)
The HPAutomatic Document Feeder (RADF (ADF)) automatically feeds up to 100 originals
directly to the scannerarea, starting with the top sheet. The RADF (ADF) should only be used for
