Looking for a good basic scanner for home or small office use? The Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 6350Cxi professional scanner is a strong performer and is easy to set up, so you will be scanning in no time.

The ScanJet 6350Cxi 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 6350Cxi 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.

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 be 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

Cons:

• Slide adapter is cumbersome

4.0 out of 5 stars Fulfills its mission in workmanlike fashion, August 26, 2000

By	Michael Sebastian "Mike Sebastian" (Kentucky USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I happily used my HP Scanjet 4c SCSI scanner for years, but it was not going to be Win-2000 compatible without a cash infusion, and I needed a document feeder anyway. It would be more cost-effective to upgrade to a new scanner. Once again, I turned to HP, and they have not disappointed--though I have a few minor nits to pick.

The good news: setup and configuration were child's play under my Windows 2000 system--it's truly plug-and-play all the way. The scanner is solid and robust, and churns out the scans reliably. The ADF works quite well and is a major time-and-effort saver, especially for those like me who aren't able to locate the scanner to be within reach while seated at one's computer. The image quality is fine and the software included, Precision Scan 2.0, does its job.

The not-as-good-but-still-ok news: the software is not the easiest to use; it's a bit confusing when scanning either from the TWAIN applet or from within another application, having to switch back and forth to get the preliminary scan, crop it, and then obtain the "final" scan. More visible buttons and fewer menus to navigate would be the ticket here. Similarly, when you try to use the buttons on the front of the scanner to scan-to email, fax, print, file, etc, you have to navigate too many menus to get the job done. The slide adapter is so kludgy and imprecise as to be nearly useless, so if you are going to scan a bunch of slides there is a separate transparency adapter you will need lest you pull out your hair.

And the scanning platen looked like my 18 month-old's eating surface. There was dust and debris all over both sides of the glass, plainly visible in the glow of the scanning lamp. How much effect this has on the quality of one's scans I do not know, but HP should do a better job on this to be sure.

These objections do not detract from the basic function of the unit, making excellent quality scans, but there is room for improvement, hence the 4 star rating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Scanner, October 21, 2000

By	James D. Kearney (Florida) - See all my reviews

I've gone through 3 scanners- mostly because the resolution has gotten better over time. I added this scanner because of the page autofeed. This one feature alone is worth the price of the scanner. If you scan large documents, you push a button, and can walk away. You come back and the scanner has saved the pages to the hard drive! Its amazing. The scan quality is also superb.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Scanner!, May 21, 2000

By	"jokitty" - See all my reviews

If you're looking for a scanner with excellent quality and easeof setup, this is the scanner for you!

The scanner arrived inperfect condition. There were not that many parts to put together which is another good thing. I followed the chart they send you on how to setup the scanner. First, you install the software. HP put together a wizard to install all the different software that comes with the 6350cxi. The installation was easy and then it tells you how to setup the scanner. Put a couple wires here and there and PRESTO, you have a new scanner!

The quality of the scans are great as well and you can pick the different resolutions to scan at. I'm sorry that I haven't worked with the 25-page document feeder or the slide adapter yet but if you're looking for great scans at a decent price, this is it!
