Excellent [Posted on 2007-06-12]
Amazing speed and ease of use. I bought 2 units for my company. I consider it a great value.

another disappointing HP scanner [Posted on 2007-09-10]
I write and sell software to control TWAIN scanners, and many of my customers write document scanning applications, so this review is specifically from that point of view. After years of frustrating experience, we tell our customers to avoid all HP scanners because of their 'whimsical' TWAIN drivers. I was excited that the N6010 might be a new day for HP in document scanning, and I know my market would love an ADF scanner at this price point.

Sigh - no such luck. We experienced the same paper-feeding problems as other reviewers reported, feeding 2 and sometimes 3 or 4 pages together. This is *not* inevitable - our Canon DR-2080C and Fujitsu fi-5110C almost never do this, the N6010 did it frequently. It was clear after a few hours of testing that we could not recommend this model to our customers.

Drilling down a level, the N6010's TWAIN driver is better than many HP drivers we seen, but has at least one egregious bug and several minor ones. The driver cannot have been written or tested by anybody familiar with the TWAIN standard. I'm sure it works with the in-box software, and I assume they tested it with some popular scanning applications. But I wouldn't assume it will work with any scanning application it hasn't been specifically tested with.

If HP fixed the driver bugs (quite easy) and the feeding problems, this would be a standout product in its class.

Great Scanner! [Posted on 2007-09-10]
I bought this scanner because our office was going virtual so at least 100 files needed to be scanned in from the past and then everyday business. It took me about 12 hours to scan over 100 files...which had many pages per file. The scanner works really well, does a great job. Every once in a while I had to turn it off and on because it became unrecognizable...or it could have been the computer. The scanner is suppose to duplex....I set all teh settings for duplex but it doesn't do it...this would be my only compliant. I'm not sure if I am missing something but I am pretty computer savy and found where it said to switch from single to duplex and it still doesnt do it. The scanner doesnt come with the best manual either......it's mostly just how to install it which is really easy. Over all I enjoy the scanner, it's really fast, hasn't jammed for me yet, gets the job done...my only wish is that the duplexing would work. If you are looking for a scanner that is like this for a cheap price then this is the one you should get....i love it! :)

Great basic document performance [Posted on 2008-01-03]
I bought one for my office and found it easy to install, great choice of one-sided or two-sided scans and the copy function works great too. About one of 100 pages may feed double due to an old staple mark etc., but I use it all day, every day for basic document scanning of 8 1/2 x 11 pages and it has been trouble free. I have since bought two more for other employees and have added one for my home office use. I see other ratings where document feeding has been a problem - it has not been for our company at all. This is a good mid-level vanilla document PDF scanning device. It is not for fancy/odd shaped pages or for damaged documents. It works very well for this basic business use.

Great for small stacks [Posted on 2008-01-24]
Although this scanner is fast you can not always place a stack of paper in the feeder and press scan. It starts pulling through 2-4 of the pages at a time. This makes it very diff with the large stacks I am always scanning. I have to feed them one by one. And forget it if someone or something comes in and distracts me because now I have to start all over. I have also found that with large stacks I have to break them up into two files. If I scan to many pages (one by one) into one PDF file the scanner always jams around the same area of the stack. If you are only scanning a few pages for each file I would fully recommend this scanner it is quick. But if you are scanning large stacks of papers or what a scanner that you can count on to only take one page of a stack at a time and not need to be constantly watched while scanning I suggest you continue shopping
