Welcome to the HP English Community --

This printer type lacks a full touchscreen Printer Control Panel.

If the settings you seek are within the printer's ability to change the output, use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) to view and adjust the onboard printer settings.  FYI Only >>  In most cases, only the basic adjustments are available on the printer - for example, when using Web Scan, select "lighter to darker"

The methods used to adjust the color and related settings are usually available as part of your application or software program you are using to print.

Example - HP Smart - Windows - Scan (or Import photo file from your device) > Edit > Adjust

HP_Smart_Win_Scan_Edit_Image_Set_3

Example - Photos - Windows - Print Photo - Adjust

Photos_Edit_Options_Adjust_2

Example - Irfanview - Windows - Color Correction

Note > Full Driver Printer Software installed to support the use of Irfanview software

Irfanview_Print_Color_Correction_3
