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.

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

it will do the job I had in mind, was disappointing that it did not included a user manual had to go online to HP to get the disk. I have had this for a while, and it really was a Great Deal for the price, good performance!!

We purchased this scanner about 8 months back to replace a discount bin flat bed Canon scanner.There

Great speed; excellent quality; fast; easy to use buttons; excellent technical support

Difficult to install and setup; lamp timeout errors

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

The Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 5590, predominantly aimed at home office or small businesses, offers a mixed set of results. For the rapid scanning of monochrome documents and conversion to editable text files, the automatic document feeder enabled scanner does an excellent job.

Lots of features; good monochrome document scanning; sheet feeder

Slow duplex scanning; visible banding with sheet fed scans; cleaning

We have a number of these in use at our company. The scanner itself is the usual quality from HP that one would expect. The software on the other hand is really not worth installing as it is hopeless. Our experience shows that Omnipage software by Nuance works well with this device.

This scanner worked perfectly for the first 5 months. I probably scanned 3000 pages of stuff. Then all of a sudden I could not "initialize scanner". I use it with my MacBook Pro. The scanner shows up in my "About This Mac", just not in the HP software anymore.
