Advantages: good for win98, scanning isn't too slow, lid is removable Disadvantages: made by HP, newer scanners might be faster, bad drivers, bad support, sometimes the programs freeze, adobe photo delux sux, and it hurts ur eyes when u try to scan ur face lol

The HP ScanJet 5300C series color scanner scan at optical resolutions up to 1200 dpi (9600 enhanced) and have all the utilities you need to create professional-looking documents easily. Touch-button operation simplifies tasks, with one-step access to scan, copy, e-mail, and fax. Up-to-the minute technology helps cut task time - simply push a button to start scanning to your e-mail or Web application. The HP ScanJet 5300C series offer more performance, and is easier to use, than any comparably-priced 1200 dpi scanner. The HP ScanJet 5300C series color scanner is built around HP's Intelligent Scanning Technology. Think of it as a toolbox with everything you need to integrate text and graphics for superior results every time - with up to 1200 dpi optical resolution. Just choose which function is right for your document. For example, you can click on a photo, text, or drawing and change its size or type. Improve the look of reports, proposals, or newsletters with the included image editor. You can even cut keyboard time with OCR (Optical Character Recognition). This function converts hard copy documents into electronic files, which you can then edit. Add multi-page attachments to email or faxes. If you like, you can scan 35mm slides with ease for added versatility using an optional adapter. Or add an optional automatic document feeder or transparency adapter to extend the capabilities of your HP ScanJet 5300C "imaging and document center."
