Up until now, I had always relied on flatbed scanners with an ADF so that I could scan book pages, photographs, magazines, as well as reams of business documents. But the ADF units on these combination devices often jammed and have proven over the years to lack durability. Now that I live in a pure digital photo world, most of my scanning is documents for which a page scanner is preferable to a flatbed. Now I just keep a simple, inexpensive lightweight flatbed scanner (Canon CanoScan LiDE 210) under my desk for the occasional job that still requires a flatbed and rely on a new HP7000 document scanner most of the time. A document scanner benefits from straight paper feeds that are fast, duplex, and rarely jam (and are much easier to deal with in the event there is a jam). I have had a reasonably good prior experience with the HP6000 document scanner in a office setting. The HP 7000 is a significant step up. It is a very compact, handsome machine and is a very fast scanner, even when scanning duplex in color. It scans much faster and much more reliably than my former HP8350 flatbed/ADF combination unit and even better than the HP6000. The paper feed has proven to be both reliable and versatile. It has no problem handling those narrow, thin thermal receipts so commonly issued by retail establishements or a legal sized stack of note pages. It is very simple to open the scanner to remove a sheet of paper that has jammed (which so far has been very rare) and just as easy to access the rollers for cleaning or replacement (neither of which I am likely to need to do for some time).

All of this is great, but the user interface is the icing on the cake. Most scans can be initiated on the scanner by a simple selection of a scanning mode from a menu system followed by pressing either the simplex or the duplex scan button on the face of the scanner. This will automatically launch HP's much improved smart scanning software and execute the scan. Some additional adjustments to the scanned image can be done in the software if desired (such as rotating pages, deleting selected pages, adding more pages) and then the document is saved to where you have chosen in the configuration software. The unit comes preconfigured with convenient scanning profiles, but you can customize these and add your own using the provided software, which will then appear as choices in the selection menu on the scanner. There is also a button to launch the scanner configuration tool. Scans can also be initiated from within third party software such as Adobe Acrobat or Paperport using TWAIN or WIA drivers. This is by far the best scanning solution I have yet encountered.

The output tray has extensions to keep pages from falling off the end or to the side. These are a bit flimsy so most of the time, I just keep the main output tray extended about 3/4 of the way. I only extend it all the way out and unfold the side and end catches when scanning a larger stack of full sized documents (letter or legal pages).

Bottom line: A top notch document scanner that is well worth its price. A joy to use.

After opening the box, I realized that the plastic protection on the cover was removed once and then placed again (not a very neat job). So it looked like I bought a used unit. Or a returned unit that has not gone through an inspection.

I tested single sheets first without problem. When I tested 50 sheets. It failed to feed. (Reason for the first customer to return it?) After trying several times and readjusting the unit, it started to feed crooked. After a couple of hundred pages, it started to worked okay.

Second issue: If you do not load and set the VRS software to post process the Acrobat pdf files, the scanned files are too big (a MB/page at 200 dpi). The VRS software rescans the result into a decent size.

After scanning hundreds of pages, I have not seen a problem with the unit. So it may need some break in before it starts working. I will report if it goes bad again.

It scans very fast in resolutions up to 300 dpi. I like the double sided in one pass feature. VRS post processing is nice also. (But the pdf file cannot be read by Acrobat 5 or below). You need the latest readers.

I would give it a higher rating but the initial experience was not good. It is a good scanner.
