HP ScanJet 4600 - Flatbed scanner - 8.5 in x 11.7 in - 2400 dpi x 2400 dpi - Hi-Speed USB – Customer Reviews

I've used numerous scanners in the past.From the traditional "insert document, close lid, pray that the page didn't move" kind to the hand held type.All had their drawbacks.

This scanner with the see through positioning rocks.I now know immediately if I need to reposition the paper just be seeing how it looks through the glass.

Additionally, I have scanned large (36" x 36") plans and used the included software to create a single document.I was completely stunned when I couldn't identify where in the resulting document the software overlaid the individual scanned images.Nice.

The included OCR software works great, I've copied whole pages from books with 100% accuracy.

The only downside is that it's a little slow.It takes about 20 seconds to grab the first image, and maybe 15 seconds thereafter.But then again, I don't sit around and scan all day.

Don't bother with the traditional scanners requiring a lid.Get this.
