Introduction

From Sudoku games to graph paper, new HP Photosmart printers have a button called Quick Forms that unlocks a virtual stationery store inside your printer—no PC required.

Create useful papers at the push of a button

HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Fax Copier
The HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Fax, Copier features wireless and Bluetooth networking, along with the ability to print right on CDs and DVDs.

The HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Fax, Copier offers Quick Forms, a convenient, one-button feature with the power to add fun and ease to your life by automatically generating specialized papers straight from your printer, providing several benefits.

Save money and time
You can get as many—or as few—sheets of specialty paper as you need, saving last-minute trips to the store. Also, there’s no longer a need to buy an entire pack of any sort of paper when a couple sheets will do.

Save space
Quick Forms are also a great space-saver—even if you do use a particular type of paper often, there’s no longer a need to store an entire pack somewhere; now it’s possible to print one page at a time.

Have fun with forms, games, and puzzles

Sudoku puzzles from HP printer
Challenge yourself with varying Sudoku levels.

Print blank music staff paper two ways.
 

No matter your age, a printer with Quick Forms can provide you with hours of entertainment.

Sudoku
Quick Forms automatically generates Sudoku puzzles, and you can choose your level of difficulty—easy, medium, or difficult. Answers are greyed out and upside-down in the lower corner of the page. They’re easy to fold back so you don’t preview accidentally.

Music paper
Print blank staff paper in either horizontal (landscape) or vertical (portrait) orientation.

Mazes
Generate mazes—in an infinite number of patterns and a rainbow of different colors.

Dots
Print out a “board” of four separate games of dots, and play this classic with a friend (or restless child at a restaurant).

Simply take turns connecting two adjacent dots with a line. If someone completes a square, they get another turn. Each player writes their initial in every square they complete. Whoever has the most completed squares at the end of the game, wins.

Get forms to stay organized

Quick Forms calendars
Print either monthly or weekly calendars without a PC.
Using these forms on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis could help you keep your world in order.

Calendars
Select either a weekly calendar or a monthly one. For monthly calendars, prompts allow you to select a particular month and year. Either one is a great way to keep the family’s schedule straight on the fridge.

Task/ To-do lists
Either one-column lists or—for the super-busy—two columns are available. Printing one of these out every morning (and filling it out!) can set anyone up for an organized day.

Fax cover pages

Various Quick Forms papers
Automatically generate single sheets of notebook papers and graph papers with Quick Forms.
Working from home and helping kids with their homework just got easier:

Fax cover pages
Choose between black and white or professional-looking color. For most home and small business applications, a printed fax cover sheet with hand-written information is amply formal.

Notebook paper
However you like your notebook paper—college rule or wide—you can print out the amount you need, when you need it. Child rule (the paper that children use to practice penmanship) is also available.

Graph paper
Whether you need 1/8" squares or 5mm, Quick Forms has your graph paper on demand.

Quick Forms are only the beginning of what the HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Fax, Copier has to offer:

  • Fax, scan, or copy up to 50 pages, unattended, with the automatic document feeder (ADF).


  • Take advantage of three ways to connect: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Ethernet.


  • Choose the right paper:
    For lab-quality photos that last, choose HP’s Advanced Photo Paper, but for Quick Forms, look for HP Everyday papers that offer a technology called ColorLok. Papers with ColorLok dry more quickly and offer vivid colors and bolder blacks. Quick Forms printed on these papers will be ready to enjoy right away.
