HP ScanJet 3300C

As many know I am not really into computers. You could probably write my computer knowledge on a postage stamp! As long as it works smoothly I am happy. I was shopping in one of Cambridge’s ‘new improved’ Tesco stores when I spied the Information Technology Department. I love to shop. Now like most people, I too like a bargain so I started to browse the shelves. I came across the scanner. Many names seemed strange and alien to me. That was until I came across the Hewlett Packard Scanners. The scanner that caught my eye was the Scanjet 3300C. I liked the aesthetics of the flat grey machine ... more

The HP ScanJet 3300C is a good all-round scanner. It has a good colour sensitivity and resolution and is very easy to use, with scan and print buttons on the machine.

There are 2 buttons on the front of the scanner, 1. The first button launches the scanner ... more

This was a great scanner and can still keep up with most scanners of today. But its the minor faults that lets it down. When you start up the computer and you want to scan something, it takes a minute or two to just start. But thereafter, it scans pretty quick. Another fault is after six months occasional use, the sensitivity of the scanner makes it scan blue into the backgorund. So instead of a white background it is normally blue which then wastes quite a bit of ink. Never the less, the ease of using this is incredible. You simply press the scan button, and you choose if it is a black & ... more
