I am only interested in this product because it appears to scan with the item right side up. What type of quality do you get scanning?

I have only scanned a couple of times since I have had the printer but those times the scanning was as good if not better than any of the other HP printers I have had.

I select photo + jpg (or tif) for signatures and even cash register receipts. Files zoom up and print clearly (8-pt type is readable). It also offers document + pdf (or tif) choices for incorporating into other apps- as it gives me that many more options. Yes, much easier to get good results than any other scanner I owned.

I think the scanning software has some error correction capabilities It seems to work okay for me.If not maybe a third-party scanning software such as something by nuisance

I did a test with my scanner and yes there is some edge problems on my unit: 1/16" on top, 1/4" on the bottom and 1/8" on the sides are missing if you scan all the way to the edge. So to be safe, leave about 1/4" from the edge to be sure to get the whole photo or print. It's really a nice scanner other than that!

It works great. I use it to scan receipts mainly. I scan checks in color with decent photographic quality, for a 300dpi scanner. I have been using one for a couple of years, and just bought a few more in case i drop it and break it, as i depend on it! I hope this helps.

There are different options available for the quality of scan. (24bit, color, 8bit grey and Black\White) You have options in the software also for home\office\pro mode which allow more granularity to how the image is adjusted (I have used this numerous times to keep a copy of my receipts from stores such as Home Depot that use thermal paper that "disappear" with age\heat. I had numerous HP all-in-ones and hated them all. I love this one. Only problem is that if you set it up on Network and USB, USB wont work if you are VPN'd into a corporate network. It acts like it cant see it, even though there is a USB connection available.

Didn't try that application, but I can not imagine that would work well, the item is not easy to get a simple image to scan correctly. I would not recommend it for that purpose.

Yes it is - I am no techie. It's a good scanner!! Worth paying the extra money to upgrade to this model.

I have only scanned the checks on a one-sided basis, but it feeds and scans checks great. It also scans double-sided great, so I'm assuming yes

At an estimated 200 dpi and up (it doesn't actually let you know how high it goes, another limitation as far as I'm concerned), it actually scans at a moderate rate, not too fast and not too slow. Trouble is, I've relied on it for for crisp scans at 200 dpi and up, and it just doesn't do it very well. It wouldn't bother me if the sources were not the greatest resolution to start with, but they are, and the scanner just doesn't do them justice even at the highest resolution.

Have you used this scanner for a mounted 35mm slide? What is the ease of use and the quality of the scan? I am looking for a scanner to scan many, many slides from my father and need ease of use as well as scan quality.Many thanks,Helen

Make sure you set it up properly...what you select affects the scan shape/area size.

Scans come out just fine for our purposes. Then again, this was not bought strictly for its scanning abilities. Ours is used in a small business office setting. Hope that helps.

Not sure what you mean? It makes quality copies. Functions well with CD/DVD. What do you mean "quality scans?"

I've had no problems with poor quality scanned photos. The default is set to 300dpi, have you tried increasing it to 600dpi? That's what I always use and that works for me. I believe the max is 1200dpi. You may want to play around with that setting and see. Also don't be fooled by the scan preview, it's not an exact representation of what the scanned photo/doc will look. Hope that helps.

I bought the unit but haven't used it as yet. My friends tell me that they can scan almost anything, including old photos that are bent. Should do checks just fine.

Hi Chad Kessler, You posted this a LONG time ago -- about 14 months ago -- and didn't get any replies. Maybe you're still monitoring it, or maybe you found an answer elsewhere. Anyhow, I thought I'd toss in a tip anyhow. No, I don't know what the problem is, or exactly how to fix it. But elsewhere on these discussion boards (leastways, a year ago) was a fellow named Wayne. I THNK it was Wayne Fulton. I remember he was a fount of knowledge about scanning, always quite generous. Now, just this week, I came across a website set up by Wayne Fulton (I believe the same guy): scantips with the www and the dot-com as appropriate. He's literally written an entire book about scanning there (a 101 basic book AND a 201 intermediate book). It's actually a bit more than mere basic stuff. He's been a lifesaver to me. He even provides his email address and might be willing and able to answer a question directly, although I think you'd want to check through his writings first to see if he offers any insights. Maybe this is a year late, and the problem was long ago solved. But if not, check out Wayne's website.

Mine scans nice and clear. There are different settings you can put it on. I scanned a 45 year old hand written journal and was pleased with the clarity.
