ADF failure [Posted on 2007-01-14]
It's true that machines of the same model can perform differently, but I'm with the "thumbs-down" group. I bought this to PDF my paper files and found in the first 30 minutes that the document feeder was nearly 100% consistent in its inability to throughput multiple pages. It either jammed or fired through pages without scanning virtually every time. That's with the included software and, as above, Adobe Acrobat 7.0. I returned it.
Careful with HP7650 Scanner and USB [Posted on 2007-05-13]
This scanner works great now. It only took two hours to figure out that the reason it would not work right is that I had a 20ft USB Cable. This scanner is very particular about cable and cable length so if you have trouble getting it running check to make sure your cable is no more than 16ft long (this is what they support). Also it does not seem to work well from the HP Director so we use the buttons on the front of the scanner. It has been working well otherwise and the ADF seems to hum along pretty well.
Do Not Recommend [Posted on 2007-08-12]
Problems:
1. Will not scan document information in light blue colors.
2. Sometimes cuts off lower 1/4th of the document.
3. Documents sometimes jam in the feeder and are difficult to remove/pull out. (When that happens, I sometimes have to completely shut down my computer and restart.)
I do not recommend this scanner.
If you need to scan just documents, buy a Xerox scanner.
Our office also has a Xerox Documate 250 vertical feeder scanner that is superior to the HP Scanjet.Feeding is much easier and documents rarely jam. If they do, they are easier to pull out.
One advanced feature that the HP Scanjet 7650 has is the ability to scan 35mm negatives. I used this feature and it works. The drawback is that it takes a long time. It's a lot easier just to take the negatives to a nearby photo lab (Walmart and CVS Pharmacy are near me) and have the technician transfer the negatives (which convert to pictures) onto a CD-ROM for around $7.00. (Something like 144 pictures can be put on a CD-ROM.)
Grabage [Posted on 2008-05-03]
Doesn't scan, doesn't feed. Doesn't accept software that is for scanning. Doesn't come with appropriate scanner software. I was surprised. We use a lot of HP products and generally have been satisfied. This one is the exception. It really is trash. $700 down the toilet. Tha's what I paid from Amazon. As you can see these now cost less, and I can understand why. Still a lower price for something that doesn't work is no bargain.
Keep looking [Posted on 2008-06-30]
I have had problems with this scanner and document jams in the adf also...and they are regular 8.5 x 11 sheets. I have also had problems with a blue line running through my docs (if in color, grey if in b/w)and there is no way to clean the glass. The printer does not even arrive with perfectly clean glass so everything has smudges all over it.
