HP ScanJet 2400 Digital Flatbed Scanner

...scanner== Having had a HP Printer for years, and having had it serve me well in terms of printing off coursework and homework assignments among other things, I decided to opt for a HP scanner to compliment it. My old inferior Mustek had just given up the ghost, thus it was definately time for a new scanner! So I headed off to my nearest computer fair, to search for a brand new scanner. I hadn't much to spend on the day, just under 40 quid infact, ...
...I did however, find the HP Scanjet 2400 in one stall, looking most impressive on the box, I found myself checking out the specifications and asking the stall owner the price. The gruff reply was "37.99 mate", awesome, I thought. Even got enough money left for a happy meal! So I strolled out of the place lugging...)well not so much lugging it must have only weighed a couple of kilograms) a brand new scanner. ==The Scanner== Upon arriving home ...

Review of HP ScanJet 2400 Digital Flatbed Scanner

My HP Scanjet 2400 experience began when I inserted the installation CD, this began to run and immediately stopped with a 'Macromedia Projector' error message. I presume 'Macromedia Projector' is software used to momentarily give a flashy display before the installation starts. Overkill that died!!! I am running Windows XP Service Pack 2 so my guess is that there was a conflict. So I explored the CD, found the Setup files and ran these to install ...

Eventually I discovered that you had to set the scan parameters you wanted then save the ...

Review of HP ScanJet 2400 Digital Flatbed Scanner

...had to resort to e-mailing hp tech support. They were brilliant, and e-mailed me yet another 'patch' to sort the problem. One would have thought that as these problems were obviously well known, then the software cd needs updating. That said , the scanner is fantastic value for money and more than satisfies my needs. I especially like the 'copy' button which scans straight to the printer. Brilliant for my wife's knitting patterns! ...

Review of HP ScanJet 2400 Digital Flatbed Scanner

Replaced my HP 5200c as it would not run under XP. The 2400 however, works very well under XP and is bundled with easy to use software. Also has a small desktop footprint making it ideal for people who are short of space. Installation only took a few minutes and xp found both scanner and software straight away. There is a nice piece of software included called memories disk, which allows you to copy picture/image files to cd, apply background music, ...
