Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ Efficient HP ScanJet Enterprise Flow 5000 s4 Sheet-feed OCR Scanner for Enhanced Document Processing by Jon Joung

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent scanner for busy users or small businesses with daily scanning needs

The HP ScanJet Enterprise Flow 5000 is a great and accurate scanner and I'm glad to have it for my small business. The scanner comes with full software. This is a good choice for any small business/office with medium to large document scanning needs. The main scanning application is the HP Smart Document Scan Software, from which you configure profiles that define scan settings, including resolution, file types and storage location, and where scanned images are sent, e.g. E-mail, an FTP site or some other attachment. It also comes with two other programs. The First-HP Scanner Tools utility that allows you to configure scan profiles from the front panel, change power management settings, create profiles for use with third-party scanning software, and view scanner settings, status, and maintenance information. Also included is Nuance PaperPort 14, a document management program that includes the Nuance Cloud Connector to transfer scanned documents to the cloud. Readiris Pro (optical character recognition or OCR software for editing scanned text) and Cardiris (business card scanning and contact management software) are provided by IRIS and downloaded via links on the HP Smart Document Scan Software home screen. The only problem I had using the scanner was that it couldn't handle sheets with ragged edges. Every time I added a page with a worn top edge to a stack of originals, the scanner would select more than one page at a time, which would immediately cause the scan to fail and an error message to appear on the LCD. Overall, I am very satisfied with this ScanJet from HP.
