Welcome to the HP Community --
So little information to go on..
Here are some general tips...
How to Copy
Make copies with an HP printer
---------------------------------------------------
If your printer supports it, change the Copy Defaults in EWS
Open your Browser > Type / enter the Printer IP address into URL / Address bar
Tab Copy > Settings > Default Settings / Copy Defaults
EWS_9025_Copy_Defaults_6
---------------------------------------------------
If your printer does not support changing the Copy options on the printer, for example, you have a printer without a printer control panel (or the settings are just missing),
then
Scan the content instead.
HP Document - How to Scan
HP Printers - How to Scan (Windows, Mac, Mobile) | HP® Customer Support
Example...
Scan the content instead using (for example) HP Smart (if supported).
After the content is scanned but before saving,
Select Edit > Adjust
The Adjust edit set controls hue, saturation, brightness and other settings.
Example - HP Smart - Windows - Scan > Edit sets
HP_Smart_Win_Scan_Edit_Image_Set_1
