Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Hewlett-Packard's ScanJet 5300Cse is a basic scanner that more than adequately fills an impressive range of needs. The accompanying software CD-ROM also includes three especially helpful programs--the Boomerang Internet Design Shop, Adobe PhotoDeluxe, and the Hemera Photo-Objects Gallery--along with the well-designed scanner driver and other extras.
Setting up the scanner itself was a breeze. We installed and loaded the software in about 25 minutes. Then, we hot-plugged the scanner (kept the computer on while connecting the scanner) into our PC's USB port. In fact, we recommend that you keep your PC on, as the scanner driver software displays short video snippets that clearly demonstrate how to perform each step. On our computer screen, we watched actual human hands setting up an actual scanner.
The ScanJet's oversized quick-installation poster was cumbersome for us to unfold and follow. Also, there is no printed user's guide, so if you have questions, you'll have to consult the extensive electronic version on the CD-ROM.
In our tests of the 5300Cse, we scanned documents into text. The scanner was also quick enough that we could use it simply as a copier and could send an image directly to our printer. With a simple click, you can attach images to e-mail or send them via fax.
Hewlett- Packard makes other models similar to the ScanJet 5300Cse, some complete with an automatic sheet feeder and some with a transparency adapter, but what we found compelling about the 5300Cse is its simplicity. This scanner is a good, solid flatbed model, unencumbered with gadgetry that may not be applicable to many users' needs. With its 1,200 dpi resolution, the 5300Cse does a beautiful job of scanning text and photographs and making copies--the tasks we think you'll care about most. --David Greenberger
Pros:
- Dependable, fast, slim design
Cons:
- Cumbersome oversized setup instruction sheet

5.0 out of 5 stars
Awesome scanner!,
By A Customer
This review is from: HP ScanJet 5300Cse Flatbed Scanner (Office Product)
The Hewlett Packard ScanJet 5300Cse is a great high-end scanner with 1200-dpi optical resolution, fast scan speeds, and high quality results. I scanned an 8x10 color photo earlier today in less than 45 seconds! The images are very sharp and coloration is true to the original. The 1200-dpi resolution gives you the capability to enlarge your pictures with amazing detail. I also found the copy function to be useful, just push a button on the front of the 5300C and a copy prints out of your printer seconds later. This scanner is fast, easy to use, and capable of the highest resolution scans... overall it's one of the best on the market and I highly recommend it!

Good Value for the Price,
By
This review is from: HP ScanJet 5300Cse Flatbed Scanner (Office Product)
For the casual home user, this is a great scanner. For scanning photograhs to e-mail and for importing images for greeting cards, brochures, and so on, this scanner is just fine. Scanning time is fairly quick. The software allows you to manipulate images to try and improve a photo or cut and paste one photo with another to create an entirely new image. For text, I would not recommend this scanner. Even top-line scanners have trouble with text, so don't expect great character recognition from this low-end model. Again, for the casual home user, you can't do much better than the 5300Cse; it does what most people want a scanner to do and it does it well.

Very Nice and Simple,
By "jaydude" (OC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: HP ScanJet 5300Cse Flatbed Scanner (Office Product)
This scanner is one of the best for it's price. I just picked one up about two weeks ago for my home office and it's been a very good buy so far. The scanner itself is very easy to use, and the software helps a lot. No matter what you need the scanner for, it works very nicely and is a great addition to any home and/or office. I highly reccomend it.
