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

I may not be a company but I have a home business where I can exceptionally work on 100-200 page documents (contracts) sometimes. I have been using a regular home office scanner (officejet) for many years. But the slowness of scanning caused my archive portfolio to become so huge that I practically stopped scanning for almost a year. Say hello to this beast. This device is HIGHLY optimized for batch jobs, allowing you to customize profiles with an almost dizzying range of scanning and output options. Just enter your settings and give it a name. You can then quickly launch it from your computer or set it up to be available yourself via the quick launch button on the scanner. I liked this feature and after a few hours I was already using it to speed up work with outstanding types of documents. I have a nit in this function. The scanner's LCD screen itself is TOO small. If you have similar profiles but need to describe them with a few extra words, they end up off the LCD screen and you have to wait for it to cycle through. Basically, it forces me to use profile names that are shorter but less informative. I don't know why they couldn't put a larger LCD on top of the device itself. I was really impressed with the scanning on this device. It's really fast! I threw him everything from credit cards to carbon statements and he sorted them out pretty well. I ended up getting some jams on carbon copy sheets folded tightly. The device recognized that more than one was stretched and stopped immediately. But clearing the jam was extremely easy with the quick access panel. This allowed me to pause or continue. I really want some minor tweaks to one-time jobs. For example, one of the profiles I set up kept asking for a filename. It's very useful. But when I enter a filename, I can't see the filenames that are already in the folder I chose for the output. I often use a naming pattern in each folder, but for clearer assignments it doesn't make sense to set a base package name. Not being able to see the names in the folder caused some problems when I had to open a second window in File Explorer to figure out what name to use. Seems to be an easy feature to add (HP please!). Considering this use case, this scanner is a no-brainer for me. Another thing that's on the feature list, this scanner doesn't support wireless out of the box. You need to buy an adapter for wireless from HPE for about $50. The included USB cable is 6 feet long, which limits your placement options. Okay, the few paragraphs above aren't a big deal, but it's enough to bring the rating down slightly from 5 to 4 stars. Almost enough for me to deduct another star (3 stars) but really the incredible scanning speed with automatic detection of orientation, color, blank pages and custom profiles makes this device a rock star for bulk scanning (its main purpose). ).
