This document feeder is a handy product which currently costs about GBP160 to buy. It is cheaper in the US at $199. WHAT IS IT? The HP Scanjet Automatic Document Feeder attaches to HP Scanjets and is compatible with the Scanjet 5100, 5200, 6200 and 6300 series scanners .

saves time manual scanning

a bit noisy and quite expensive

A great nifty little scanner for quite a reasonable price. Looks complicated but very easy to use

Good speed; great features; high quality scans

Looks complicated; can be quite quirky

The perfect addition to a home office. The multisheet duplex scanner is as easy as load the sheet feeder and push the scan button. It also reduces the paper work clutter in my home office everyday.

This scanner is pure disappointment. First of all the double sided scanning is slow because it routes the paper through the scanner 3 times: once to scan side 1, another for side 2, and a final run to turn it back the way it was.

We're glad we purchased the HP Scanjet 5590 Flatbed Scanner

Purchased to replace Scanjet 5500C as its software would not run on Windows 7 and there were no W7 drivers. It was difficult to find an OCR scanner to run on Windows 7 and this was about the only one at a reasonable price.

Min scanner var trasig när jag fick den, de skickade kablar och grejer men fick det inte att fungera, då bytte de ut hela överdelen och vips var allt frid och fröjd. Trist att den var paj men ändå löste de det bra tycker jag under omständigheterna.

- Arkmatare + dubbelsidigt + flatbädd + fotonegativ; - HPs support är väl OK; - Snabbknappar för snabb scanning för vissa ändamål

- Helt värdelös (STOR) mjukvara; - Låter mycket; - Långsam dubbelsidig scanning (överlag långsam också kanske

I have used this general type of HP scanner for many years with great results...it performs and is simple to use..it works great with acrobat for our pdf's ...would recommend it to anyone..

There was no instruction book, the scanner is noisy, the automatic feeder is not working. The software is not the best.

When you see a scanner with a 50-sheet, duplexing ADF built into its top cover, as with the HP Scanjet 5590 ($399.99 direct), it's a safe bet that it's designed to scan multipage documents for OCR and document management applications, as well as fax and copy.

50-sheet, duplexing ADF and 35-mm transparency adaptor are standard; Handles OCR well; Better slide scan quality than most flatbeds

No batch scanning; Transparency adaptor is external, rather than an integral part of the unit; Lacks feature for removing scratches or dust from image
