5.0 out of 5 stars suits me just fine!, September 20, 2001

This review is from: HP ScanJet 2200c Color Flatbed Scanner (C8507A) (Office Product)

I needed a copier/scanner for use at home, and this was a perfect selection. The price was reasonable, and I make copies of bills and other literature that prevent me from taking them to work or to the library, saving lots of time. The hook-up was very easy, and the software setup was the quickest I've experienced when adding hardware. Much recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple but Efficient, June 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: HP ScanJet 2200c Color Flatbed Scanner (C8507A) (Office Product)

I'm an engineer. I bought an HP Scanjet 2200C for my 5-year old daughter to use in school. I singled out Scanjet 2200C from my other choices because it was an HP, "Designed for Windows XP," a newer model, and priced low. I liked the neat, careful way HP packaged the product: artful and without the usual clutter on the outside. Inside the box, I found the scanner snugly fit. The lid is key-locked against movement during transport. I knew beforehand that this scanner included only the elements: LTX Precisionscan (scanning software) and I.R.I.S. OCR (text recognition software.) I found no occassion yet to use Adobe ActiveShare and the HP Copy Utility. But what it does have, it does quite well. I thought the scanned image looked brighter, sharper, and livelier on the computer than on the original photo. The OCR may lack advanced features. But the mere fact that I can easily scan and EDIT documents with it was already a big help in my technical reports. On my Windows XP computer, the LTX software installed seamlessly. It's interface is clean and simple. Though the 2200C doesn't have an ON/OFF switch my PC does NOT automatically turn ON the scanner UNLESS I clicked the LTX program first. What's more, after the scanner has been idle for about 10 minutes, Windows XP AUTOMATICALLY turns it OFF. I checked by lifting the lid to see the light. The lid can be removed to scan thicker objects and it's no big deal putting the lid back. I don't know how fast scanners ought to be. If this was slow, I didn't notice. I don't have problems with it since I bought it a month ago. It came with one year local warranty. I'm keeping the box in any case. Just about the only gripe I can say is that it can't accomodate legal size paper (which I rarely use anyway.) This is my family's first scanner and we're happy it does what it says. There are plenty of scanners out there. I'm sure one would closely meet your requirements. This elegant little machine did for me. Good luck!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Unit for the price., January 19, 2002

This is a easy to setup quick little scanner, not the smallest unit, certainly not the biggest. I find the software to be fine, and I dont even bother with Adobeshare as I save all my scans to a file rather than adobe share. Additionally the gentlemen from India is entirely wrong, you can easily save as any format from the scanner. All my files get saved as jpegs.

The best feature on this unit is the copier feature, on push of the button and the image goes right to my printer, and it looks awesome.......

I have ONE COMPLAINT. THe quality of the buttons in front of the machine WILL NOT stand up to heavy use. I dont use them you can activate the features via software... if you forget that HP got cheap on the buttons you will love this unit.
