Customer Reviews

Great scanner!2003-04-29
This scanner just tears through a stack of documents when scanning. Although it says the document feeder has a 50 sheet capacity, I've found that if you actually put 50 sheets in it, it starts to double feed, so I limit it to about 25-30. I really like the ability to scan both sides of a document with one pass.

For online documents, I'm finding that 200 dpi is more than adequate, unless you are scanning dot matrix printing, then you need either a higher resolution, or to adjust the brightness setting, or both to get a good scan. The worst is scanning dot matrix printing on yellow paper.

It will scan really small documents (like a check) just fine, but if you put different sized documents in a stack to scan, it will pull some of the smaller ones though a bit crooked.

It comes with Acrobat free of charge, ... All in all, I like it, and would buy it again, unless I could afford a faster version like the 4770.

Work horse. Well worth the price.2003-04-24
I've installed 2 of these little fellows, in one case replacing an HP 7490c which was my favorite electronic item to loathe. It took forever. It screeched. It locked up PCs. It jammed. It scanned like that song from Rocky Horror: "it's just a jump to the left. Then a jump to the right." I upgraded to Windows XP to please it. It found that rare defect in XP: its inability to recognize some USB scanners, forcing me to un-plug and re-plug the HP Scanner cable every single re-boot. It lived to be loathed. HP will send you a replacement ADF as often as you like, with no argument at all. How's that for their confidence in quality control for this little objection of disaffection?

And then, sigh, I bought the Fujitsu FI-4220c from Amazon. It arrives with one of those oddly phrased last minute insert pages that essentially says don't try to use the USB connection with XP. It's a good warning to heed.

If instead you install the card in your PC (I know, it's been ages since I've opened up a chasis, but it's easier than it ever was in the old days), the rest is straight forward. Small footprint. Quiet. FAST. Startingly fast. Ample resolution. Snap to alter the settings for each scan. Not quite the exact clarity (and lack of slight curving of text) that you will find if you pay 3 times the price, but then you aren't paying 3 times the price. While I suppose it works well as a "departmental" scanner, we use them for single desks with heavy document / image scanning demands. Just keeps keeping up.

I suggest you install it with a current ample PC and have plenty of electronic storage space on hand, because you will find yourself scanning more than you imagined. Little odds and ends of paper just do go away and don't return. 50 page legal size document in a couple minutes, converted to pdf and ready to email. No fits and starts. All pages in order. Lovely.

In addition to Adobe, we also use Paperport as a gateway and editing software for scanned docs.

This Fujitsu is a solid unit. Both units have returned price in peformance within a few weeks of purchase and installation.

Still trying to find the correct ecological opportunity for detroying the HP. Maybe find a Sondheim giant roaming the forest. BOOM. SQUISH!

Audio & Video Connections Guide
" For a list of all the ways technology has failed to improve the quality of life, please press three." - Alice Kahn This quote is certainly applicable to consumer electronics. From the very first commercially produced radios to the latest in high-definition television technology, the manner in which the components used to deliver our news, music, movies and entertainment are interconnected seems to have escaped logic. For both the newcomer and the old hand alike, connecting equipment in the most efficient and effective manner can be a painful chore. It is hoped this article will improve your background knowledge concerning potential A/V system connection schemes and where each is most appropriate. The next time you find yourself in a "connectivity quandary" perhaps the ideas shared here will help you to quickly solve the riddle of which wire goes where and why!

Core 2 Duo Scaling
Laptop Scaling Intel's Core 2 Duo is easily the best mobile processor on the market today, boasting sky-high performance and low power consumption. But which CPU is for you: the super expensive T7600, the bargain-priced T5500, or something in between? This article will first take a look at the various versions of Core 2 Duo that Intel has to offer. We will compare Core 2 Duo clocked at four speed grades: 2.33GHz, 2.16GHz, 2GHz, and 1.83GHz in a variety of benchmarks and let you know how to get your best bang for the buck. Note: We will refer to a Core 2 Duo “T7000�multiple times in this article. We were unable to get a Merom sample with 2MB L2 cache, thus we lowered the clock speed of our 4MB L2 model to 1.83GHz to perform near that of the T5600 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2 cache), resulting in our unofficial “T7000�nomenclature. The Core 2 Duo Processor Intel has two lines of Core 2 Duo processors: notebook and desktop. Core 2 Duo for notebooks is codenamed Merom, while Core ...
