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)
Selecting line screen, dot screen, or high compression (screen settings)

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
