Slim. Sharp. Stylish. The Scanjet 2400.

Advantages: Fast, simple image scanning. Very stylish design. Excellent Price.
Disadvantages: None!

...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, so owning the creme de la creme of scanners wasn't an option. 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 I went about setting up the scanner. Scanners are all readily assembled, so installation is as simple as plugging in the lead. While not exactly tiny, the size is necessary - most scanners have to be big...

My HP Scanjet 2400 Experience

Advantages: Inexpensive
Disadvantages: Not too user-friendly

...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 the software. I think this worked, although I have no idea if I got the full software set. Next I tried to scan a series of A4 (paper size) documents as A4 documents using the HP Director control software. Could I do this? Not without a good deal of manual intervention because after each scan the scanner insisted on removing the margins and I had to manually drag them back into place...

Dexxa Flatbed Scanner 4800

Advantages: well priced
Disadvantages: A bit larger than most modern scanners

...If you are looking for a well priced easy to use desktop scanner, look no further. In the past 12 to 18 months most hardware has seen dramatic price reductions and in the case of flatbed scanners there is no exception. The biggest problem here is knowing which makes and models will be most compatible to which computers, also what capabilities they have. The Dexxa 4800 Flatbed Scanner is very standard as far as looks go but handles virtually all types of materials to scan, if you placed your hand on the screen it would even scan that clearly. The scan range (resolution) is anything between 50 and 4800 DPI which I'm sure for anyone is more than enough, besides which the high end resolutions would take enormous amounts of memory and super powerful computers to be any use. For most people the Dexxa 4800 is ideal and will work easily...

ScanJet - fast but inconsistent scans

Advantages: quick, decent software, good images after some repeats and fiddling
Disadvantages: inconsistent quality

...film, and one for 120 and 220 medium format and 4 x 5? film. To scan you remove the mat from the top cover to reveal the transparency adaptor, place the template on the flatbed, and put the film in the template which is foolproof In the box you get: the HP ScanJet 4890 photo scanner, built-in slide and negative adapter and template kit, USB cable, power supply adapter/power cord, CDs with software and user instructions, setup poster, user's manual, warranty card My experience. A lot about this scanner is excellent but not everything. It is very quick to scan but doesn?t always recognise everything it should, for example when loading with 16 slides or 30 negatives it doesn?t always recognise and scan all of them, you either have to try and do it manually or you have to find the missed ones and reload them. The thumbnail previews...

Quality Flatbed Scanner Ideal for Business Use

Advantages: Very high quality images; Fast scans even at high res
Disadvantages: Poor driver support for Win XP; Noisy; Large

...HP isn't well renowned for making high quality scanners - usually their inkjet printers steal the limelight away. Nonetheless, HP's Scanjet 6350c is a good multi-purpose flatbed scanner. The 6350c is really aimed at small to medium business users, although you might find it useful in the home office if you scan documents regularly. This is an extremely versatile scanner, offering normal flatbed scanning as well as an ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) which will scan up to around 25 pages in one go. It also comes with a handy slide adaptor. Connection options are USB 1.0 and SCSI. I used the USB connection, and the speed was perfectly acceptable, even for high resolution scans, although SCSI is there if you need an even faster connection. Software included with the scanner is reasonable fare. Precisionscan Pro, the main program to...

Hp Scanjet 4200c Review

Advantages: Very quick at preview and scan
Disadvantages: Price

...I brought the Hp scanjet 4200c scanner second hand over two years ago and have found it to be a good buy although due to a dodgy repair by the prevous owner only half of my scanner works but i still say that is one of the best scanners around. It does not do negatives but then only the expensive ones do. Basically it does all you could want it to do. The preview time using the Windows xp scanner and camera wizzard it takes just 15 secs to do a preview. The avarage scan time is just 25 secs on a normal A4 scan. It is a very easy product to use and well worth the money. Any one who buys this scanner will not regret buying it because it so fantastic....

A good scanner for those of a patient disposition

Advantages: Good quality scans
Disadvantages: Clunky software, immense lamp warmup time

...This is my third scanner, the previous ones having died. I chose the HP as it was supposed to give quite reasonable negative/slide scans in additon to the usual flatbed scanning. Priced at around £60, it is a flatbed scanner. The top cover is removable, allowing the scanning of large books. Incorporate in the cover is a 35mm negative/slide carrier. This allows the scanning of photgraphic material, and special built-in functionality provides for this. Optical resolution is 1200 dpi x 1200 dpi, 48-but colour depth. The scanner has its own PSU, a "wall wart" rather than taking its power from USB. Installation was easy, and the actual scanning is of very good quality and reasonably fast. The included OCR software works very well. There are buttons on the top for doing "instant" scans, photocopies, etc. I do have some...
