Looking for a good basic scanner for home or small office use? The Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 6390C professional scanner is a strong performer and is easy to set up, so you will be scanning in no time.

The ScanJet 6390C is a solid basic scanner that more than adequately fills a useful range of needs. Setup and installation were quick, easy, and intuitive. The oversized quick installation poster was easy to read and simple to follow. If you want additional assistance, you will need to check the coach feature (part of the extensive online help system) or other online help, since the 6390C doesn't include a printed user's guide. You can also use the internal coach to help scan your work after a quick but thorough tutorial. (It took us only 10 minutes to run through all the steps.)

In our tests, the scanner required a warm-up time of just under a minute and a half. After warm-up, we quickly reproduced flat images and slides using several different preset dpi settings. The scanner also has an automatic feeder for scanning multiple flat documents or images, which we found particularly useful. With the feeder attached, the scanner can handle up to five scans per minute. The slide adapter is a bit cumbersome, with too much leeway in the placement of the slide, but it produces vivid scans. The ScanJet 6390C also includes a transparency adapter that allows you to scan transparencies in sizes up to 5 by 5 inches.

This is a fairly effortless scanner that can meet a wide range of needs. Whether paired with an ink-jet or laser printer, you will get crisp, clear scanned images. You can also fax scans or attach them to an e-mail with the click of a button. --David Greenberger

Pros:

• Fast, easy setup
• Can handle a full range of originals
• Complete solution with feeder, slide adapter, and transparency adapter

Cons:

• Slide adapter is cumbersome

Amazon.com Product Description

The ScanJet 6390C is a 36-bit color flatbed scanner that offers dual SCSI and universal serial bus (USB) connectivity. This unit features a Hewlett-Packard exclusive feature that allows you to scan photos, logos, line art, and text independently at optimal settings in a single step, yet it lets you preserve page format when you want to scan a whole document. The Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 6390C is capable of scan speeds as fast as nine seconds, 1,200 dpi optical resolution, and virtually unlimited enhanced resolution up to 999,999 dpi. The unit features a 25-page automatic document feeder, which will accept documents as large as 8.5 by 11.7 inches.

Using this scanner's friendly interface, you can file, fax, copy, and e-mail documents by simply touching one of five front-panel buttons. The Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 6390C streamlines scanning processes and eliminates all the intermediate steps that usually slow users down. HP Intelligent Scanning Technology automatically sends your scan to the selected application for immediate results and automatically selects the right file format, file size, and resolution for the application.

By using a local area network line, all members of your workgroup can share one scanner. You select whether you want to use standard USB (Windows 98 required) or SCSI connectivity (SCSI card and cable included). The Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 6390C features document management, image editing, and Internet faxing. The accompanying software bundle includes HP PrecisionScan Pro with integrated OCR, HP PrecisionScan LAN for network sharing, HP ScanJet Copy Utility, Caere PageKeeper, Standard 3.0 document management, Adobe PhotoDeluxe Business Edition 1.1 image editor, WebShop Designer 5.0 e-commerce and Web site creation, and Hemera NetGraphics Optimizer2.
