HP ScanJet Pro 2000 s1 Sheet-feed OCR Scanner

I first loaded the original software from CD but the latest wildly improved software should install if you are connected to the internet & using Windows7 or higher. Installs quickly without a hitch. You'll know you have the latest software when you create/modify a scan profile and it allows "delete blank pages" and "Straighten Content".The Scan Button on the scanner will follow the "Everyday Scanning" profile. I found this by experimenting. However it will auto-name the file vs a user-supplied name available if you use the screen "SCAN" button on your custom Scan Profile Screen.Scan speed is just as advertised and no problems with feeding unless "bump" scars remain after removing staples. "fingernail" them flat before scanning.The basic software has all you need for business/school scanning. Paperport14 comes on a separate CD if you need exotic scanning choices.I have a Fujitsu IX500 which scans at 35ppm vs this unit at 24ppm. The IX500 is about 410.00 and this is 270.00. If you scan more than about 50p/day, the IX500 is the way to go if you don't need Twain. HP 3000s3 if you need Twain and higher speed. PDF and JPEG is what I use it for. TIFF and BMP are also available formats.The primary advantage to the Scan Profile used by this unit and the IX500 is that the 2000s1 allows the removal of additional pages that you may not want on a 2-sided scan. For instance, we have applications that we scan but the back side is just a page full of instructions for completing the application front page. We can delete those before saving. With the IX500 you must use the "Organizer" software to do this which takes a bit longer.Over all I have no issues for the price. High volume folks should go for the HP 3000s3 (same great software) or the IX500 which also has WIFI and USB3.0

I am a lawyer who semi-retired to a home office. I decided to go paperless as much as possible because I don't like to file and now have no one to do it for me. This device is perfect for me. It is fast and versatile. I really like its ability to scan double sided documents as easily as it scans single sided documents. The HP scanner program is excellent and its OCR performance is much better than others I have used. An alternate scanner program was provided with the software, but I haven't felt any reason to fool with it, given the excellence of the HP scanner program. It also came with PDF Plus software, which is a good substitute for editable Adobe.

User friendly

Not pleased with this one. My previous scanner was a Fujitsu ScanSnap which (after YEARS) finally bit the dust. It made great scans. This HP scanner, though, creates GIGANTIC files if you want good quality. If you lower the quality, the file size is manageable (but still twice the average file size from the Fujitsu), but the quality is TERRIBLE (you can hardly read it). I keep a lot of digital records and don't want to fill up my hard drive within the first week. I'm returning this one and ordering a new Fujitsu ScanSnap. I will say that this HP ScanJet is extremely fast and does a great job feeding the documents. The interface is a pain in the behind, but once you figure it out, it's alright. But the quality of the scan vs. file size is just horrific. Terrible. Fujitsu ScanSnap will give me 1 page in full color and excellent quality at around 80KB. The HP ScanJet, to get the same page at the same quality, we're talking GIGABYTES. Not happening! To get the file size down to around 130KB or so, you have to select B&W, 1 byte! or something like this. Quality is terrible and you can barely read the scan. So, as I said, I've just ordered a new Fujitsu and will be returning this HP ScanJet.

The HP ScanJet Pro 2000s1 is a great scanner. I bought it for my home office to scan a lot of documents. I'm using an iMac 10.13.6. I use the scanner software that is builtin with the iMac, it works better than image capture and I can name and select the file type. It was well worth the money, fast and accurate.

We have 22 of these beasts - easily breaking paper trays, replacing rollers first year, and the software will install DROPBOX, OneDrive, FTP, and GoogleDrive, hooks whether you want them or not. Have to delete these rogue cloud programs individually for each machine installed. PIA HP can't seem to get rid of the bloatware! Operation is a mixed bag, some of the scanners work well and some just go offline repeatedly without reason. The HP rtwain driver triggers SymantecAV so you have to make exceptions to use this.

I am using this at the office and find that there are no jams. The papers I am scanning are far from perfect with prior staples and folds. Zero issues. It can even handle the employer copy of a tri part form, which is very thin. The software that is included is all I need to review and manipulate the scans as necessary. You won't need a full version of Adobe PDF as the one included is perfect.

Would not recommend for Mac users. Mechanically the scanner works well. Page feed and scan quality are very good. However the HP software, HP Easy Scan, designed to scan to a Mac does not work properly. First, the software disks, included with the scanner, are only for Windows, not Mac. HP Easy Scan version 1.9.1 is downloaded from the HP support website for Mac. The software does not allow you to stop after a scan. None of the edit or transfer features in the software worked for my Mac. I am using a Mac Mini and OS 10.13.4. I spend some time in the HP support website and have not found a solution, including reloading the software twice. It is my assessment that HP designed the scanner and software to work with Windows and added Mac without testing the software.The scanner does work with the Image Capture software that comes installed on most Mac’s. However at this price point I feel that the designated HP software should work correctly as well.
