Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The HP ScanJet 5400Cse Scanner provides resolutions up to crisp 2,400 dpi with vibrant 48-bit color depth. Not only does it allow you to easily scan and post photos or documents via e-mail or the Internet, it also works with your color printer to make color and black-and-white copies.

Beginning and advanced users alike will appreciate the 5400Cse's eight one-touch buttons that are configured for common scanning tasks. These buttons include Scan (which scans documents, photographs, and articles), Copy (to easily copy documents or get instant reprints of pictures with your printer), E-mail (attach scanned documents and photographs to messages), Share to Web, Power Save, Photo Reprint, View Options, and Cancel. Also for copying, there are buttons to specify the number of copies and to specify color or monochrome; an LCD shows the current number of copies selected.

The generous software bundle includes HP Precisionscan Pro 3.1, Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.05, HP Photo Printing, Corel Print Office 2000 (a suite of document publishing tools and templates), ACDSee (image viewing, browsing, enhancing, and managing), eFax Messenger Plus, Trellix Web Site Builder, and ArcSoft PhotoFantasy (image enhancement with fantasy backgrounds and effects).

The 5400Cse expands to scan 35mm negatives and slides with an optional transparency adapter. The scanner is compatible with Microsoft Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, and XP operating systems, as well as Windows NT and Mac OS 8.6 to 9.1. It is backed by a one-year limited hardware warranty plus one year of phone support and 24-hour Web support.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Scanner, Horrible Software, February 27, 2002

I have tried many HP scanners over the past year. While all of them are very good mechanically wise, the software (HP Precisionscan and Pro) leave MUCH to be desired.

One point is the ability to have the scanner automatically detect regions. It's a great feature but if it detects a Color Photograph as black and white and you are in the middle of a batch scan job, expect to take about an extra minute or two for each one where that happens. There is no "Always output in color" selection, and there is no way to specify what kind of file you wish to have output (jpg, bmp, gif, etc.).

Another huge problem is the "Scan To" destination box. While in the help it says that there are "updates" to add more programs as destinations, I could not find a single reference to it on the hp.com site which the Help file referenced as where to find them. There is no simple way of adding destinations to this program and as such, you will find it extremely frustrating if you want to have it scanned into other than default destinations.

So if you are in the market for a good scanner with bad software, and only plan to scan into the pre-programmed into destinations (which are few and unhelpful) you MIGHT consider getting this scanner. Otherwise get an Epson or Microtek scanner...

2.0 out of 5 stars hp scanjet 5490, May 29, 2002

this model comes with the 25 page ADF and transparency adapter. The scanner is technically impressive -- when it works. I had to return the scanner itself 30 days after I purchased it, with only light usage-- and it was replaced with a remanufactured model. So far (30 days later) the scanner still seems to be working, but the ADF failed--was sent a new one--which never worked, and am now waiting for a third one.

Very disappointed with "the new HP"
