HP Inc. ScanJet Pro N4000 snw1 Sheet-feed Scanner

Love it. Fast, accurate, only jams on multiple sheet feeder if you forget to remove a staple. Have run through about 600 sheets in a 2 week time with no concerns.

I recently bought this primarily to use with its ability to scan to email. After that failed to work, a firmware upgrade later got me a little closer, but still no joy, only vague error messages about losing connection to the mail server. Digging around more, it turns out that apart from not having useful diagnostics, the scanner was silently truncating the email password and sending the wrong (truncated) version. There's no way on the scanner itself to see what the password it has stored really is, so it's hard to find out that it's not what was set by the user. So, I have a scanner that is not fit for purpose: it can only store short passwords, which doesn't work for my email server. If you don't need features such as scan to email you can get a goodscanner for a much lower price.

I had high expectations for this unit, and it's really speedy at scanning a single page .... but can't help but being disappointed in a few areas relating to the workflow and software. Firstly the bundled software doesn't seem to have a blank page removal feature, and doesn't do very well for correcting orientation of pages. Secondly, the software can't keep up with the hardware - so the scanner frequency stalls during large batches and has to wait until the software catches up. Thirdly there is way too many mouse clicks to start (or continue) a scan. All of these issues interfere with the cadence and workflow of scanning several documents. A push to start/resume scan button on the scanner would probably have useful to improve the workflow, and the software should defer processing if it can't keep up with the scanner.

Love it. So many options... 1st Class and the support is wonderful.

Fast, precise, great quality. I also like that it can be folded up, basically.
