Teacher handing student output from a classroom printer.

Introduction

Having a printer with scanning and copying capabilities in the classroom can improve your quality of life at school by serving as a teaching tool and making the day a little easier.

See how an HP All-in-One can help in the classroom

Scan various materials including textbooks and create a worksheet or study guide for your students.

Some HP All-in-Ones, such as the HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One, allow you to scan directly to e-mail so you can avoid the hassle of having to first save a scanned document to your PC.
HP All-in-Ones bundle the functions of a scanner, printer, copier, and sometimes a fax, all into one machine. Here are just a few examples of how a versatile HP All-in-One can help in the classroom:

Printing
  • While students are working, prep for other classes or augment the current lesson by printing additional materials immediately without leaving the classroom.


Scanning
  • Scan student work to archive model examples for future classes.
  • Scan papers and projects to a flash drive for backup.
  • Scan pages from various textbooks or other resources to create worksheets or study guides for your class.


Scan-to features for streamlining workflow
  • Scan graded assignments or report cards directly to e-mail to help parents track a student’s progress.
  • Scan successful activities and assignments directly to a folder on your school’s network at the touch of a button, giving everyone access to the work without loading up colleagues with more paper.
  • Learn more about scanning directly to e-mail or network folders.


Copying
  • Make copies on the spot to help small groups workshop in-class writing assignments.
  • Share primary sources with your students in accordance with the Fair Use Doctrine.

Use the convenience of Quick Forms

HP Quick Forms lets students quickly print a sheet of graph or notebook paper with just the touch of a button.
How many times has your class ground to a halt for a student who needs a piece of paper?

With the one-button Quick Forms feature available on select HP Photosmart printers, students can print their own graph paper, notebook paper, blank music scores, and more with ease—without the use of a PC.

Quick Forms also includes mazes, Sudoku puzzles, and other games to keep you entertained while proctoring an endless test or after the kids are gone.

Take advantage of wireless

Students working on laptops.
Students who work from their own laptops can share a single wireless printer and help keep the classroom free of cable-clutter.
Wireless printing decreases cable clutter and streamlines your classroom by allowing students to share a single printer. Many different types of classrooms can benefit from the convenience of an HP wireless printer:
  • Classrooms where there are various computer clusters
  • Classrooms where students bring in their own laptops
  • Schools where several classrooms have to share a single printer
Find information on Getting started with wireless printing, and then visit the HP Wireless printer buying guide to compare features and learn more about HP’s selection of printers featuring wireless technology.
