Review on 📄 Efficient Scanning with the HP ScanJet Enterprise Flow 7000 s3 Sheet-feed Scanner (L2757A) by Patrick Matin

After completing a survey regarding the purchase of a paid desktop scanner, I was told that the company that commissioned the survey was Hewlett-Packard and that they want me to check the scanner, after which I was able to hold myself. Hardware: 5 stars (easy to maintain, fast) Software: 3+ stars (maybe more intuitive or with better help/guide) I have 8 years experience with a comparable scanner (for the price) from another manufacturer I'll call It is the X scanner in this test. Our company has several printers that are used daily in a dirty production environment averaging over 800 pages per day. Driver and software installation was as easy as you would expect from an HP product. The included power and USB cables were longer than I usually expect, which was great since I have a desktop that sits slightly higher than the CPU and outlet. The HP has a small, bright LCD screen that shows which scan profile is the currently selected item, and up/down arrow keys to toggle between them. It doesn't provide as much information as "X Scanner", but most of the same information is available in the "Scanner Tools" utility and you don't need to see it often. It seems strange that when you click the Tools button on the scanner, it prompts you to use the software on the computer. There's a slider for choosing the type of duplex printing (book or tablet), but it's not entirely clear how it's supposed to work. After speaking to an HP product rep, I learned that it can scan folded paper without jamming. Cool feature I didn't even know existed. I like the simplex and duplex buttons on the scanner, but only because the HP software doesn't support automatic two-sided printing like the X scanner does. "X-Scanner" (which is pretty good). Whoever designed this part of this scanner should be responsible for designing ALL the hardware at HP. It's so simple it's almost a technical marvel. We don't usually need OCR, just a regular PDF that looks exactly like the original, with a reasonable file size. The HP Smart Scan Software supports many of the features I expect, such as B. Page orientation and hole removal. It also has many features that would be useful for the right application, but I didn't spend much time evaluating them since I don't use them. Digital signatures in PDF format, many file types including .epub, .htm, .jpg, .xls, .xlsx, pptx, .docx, .png, .tif, .xml and some others. OCR in many languages. This scanner is incredibly fast at 300ppi and below. Speed drops noticeably once you increase it to 400 ppi or more, but 300 ppi is usually sufficient for most high-volume text documents. HP has more options for scanning with different ppi values, which I think is good, but since storage is so cheap, we scan almost everything at 300 ppi. The problem was setting up the software to get the scan results I was looking for. My first impression of the scanner's color fidelity was not very good. I tried scanning again with the TWAIN driver compatible software that I sometimes use with the "X-Scanner" and the color looked great, so the software was the problem. It took some tweaking to get good color reproduction with the same file size as my regular scanner. That's the only thing that upsets me. Although there is a setting in the profile to automatically detect the color, this software poorly detects a small amount of color even at the highest detection settings. If you need to scan pages, which are primarily black and white with color labeling, you must set the profile to color without auto-detection. I discussed this with an HP tech and suggested they come up with a few more default profiles with more detailed explanations of what to expect from each. I spent a lot of time tweaking the HP software settings to try to better duplicate the results I expected from the "X" scanner software. There are many more settings that can be manipulated on HP, which I think is great for some people's needs, but just lengthen the process to get the scan results I was looking for. I mainly scan invoices, AutoCad drawing files, receipts, contracts, simply business documents in general. Scanner "X" was definitely easier to just install the software and get it working with great results for simple archiving purposes. However, if you want to take advantage of any of the additional features of HP software, you will need to purchase aftermarket software that is compatible with TWAIN drivers and hope for the best. I spent quite a bit of time on the phone with an HP product and R&D representative. if you just install the software and get it working with great results for simple archiving purposes.
