Not worthy of the HP name
This scanner has many good points, but doesn't live up to the HP name.It warms up slowly, scans slowly, and the manual slide mechanism on the 6390 version is a pain. I bought it to support a busy customer reception area, and it just isn't up to the job. Being a relatively expensive scanner, and an HP, I expected more. Fast and quality scanner!
I have this scanner for more than a 1.5 years now. I have choosen it because it's HP, and for the document feeder (there is no slide adapter with the 6350, it is bundeled with the 6390). Requires Minor Quality Tweaks
I did not purchase my 6350 at Amazon, but did so elsewhere.I have lived with this scanner for 2 months now.Here are my thoughts on this product.Note that the 3-stars and title I give this product are slightlymisleading.The scanning quality is exceptional.The automatic documentfeeder (ADF) is a huge plus, and convenience.The software packageincluded is alright.The setup and connections were no problems at all. With minor tweaking of this product, HP could really make it a scanner thatwill get it 5-stars in every category.Consider the following: 1.Thescanner does not include faxing software, or at least I could not find any. This is a minor issue, however.... 2.The scanner optical"glass" surface had smudge marks and foggy spots, right out ofthe box.Perhaps better quality control/assurance practices at HP will fixthis.Items with such obvious defects should never leave the manufacturingfacility.Note that the average user cannot clean the underside of thescanner "glass".Hp does not recommend this for the 6350. 3.HPshould have packaged the standard document cover with this unit as well. In cases where the ADF is required to be removed for repairs, the standardtop could easily be put on. 4.The construction and design of the unit isnot conducive to keeping the interior dust free.I state this as thechassis has several visible openings, that could introduce dust, fibresinto the inside of the scanner.Perhaps HP designed it this way forventilation and dessipation of built up heat from the unit.HP couldperhaps better the design in future versions of this model.Since the 6300is the identical model without the ADF, this fact applies to it as well,and other similar HP models too. In summary, I am quite pleased with thisproduct.It does have the potential to be a GREAT product with a littlemore effort on HP's part. Sincerely, aba4430 ... Read more

THIS SCANNER IS NOW WORTHLESS
Worked fine when first installed. Lost hard drive and now ubable to re-install. Have done extensive and very time consuming research on the problem to no avail. Have un-installed and re-installed several times, following the instructions carefully.
Don't buy this scanner.
I had the scanner for maybe a year. I didn't use it much. Without any reason it stopped working properly. All the images I scan are blurry with blue and red all over. Terrible!!!
Remorseful buyer here!
Bought the so-called Mac compatible scanner last year and it worked with OS 9. I went to do this years batch of scans using OS X and no go. Image Capture doesn't see it connected via USB. An Apple Support document indicates that the 1660 Photo driver is NOT a built-in driver in Mac OS X. I downloaded most the recent software (epson11208.sea) from Epson website, installed it...the scanner app won't even startup! ... Read more

the Plug stopped working
I bought the scanner a year or 2 ago and every thing was working properly, until I connected it to my new computer a week ago and it wasn't detected by windows. I did some testing and found out that the plug stopped working. It doesn't have a light in the front, so I don't know if it's getting power, but I connected another plug and windows detected the scanner and installed it. then I found out that the plug was the under powered(I needed 12v, 650mA, The one I used one that was 9V, 300mA). So I bought one that was 18v 1100mA that worked with a printer at a second hand store, figuring it would work with the scanner, and that the voltage and current was just the maximum value that it could support. Since I'm studying Electrical Engineering I know this is possible and if the product doesn't it's probably so you have to buy the exact same kind of plug.
Great scanner especially for the price
I've used this scanner for archiving old photos, general scanning, and importing line art for coloring in Photoshop & GIMP. I've been very happy with it. The resolution & color quality is great for my uses and it's reasonably fast too. I have used this scanner on 3 different PCs and haven't had a single setup issue.
Husband loves it.
In less than a month my husband has already scanned more than 500 antique and more recent family photos with it, dating from the 1890's to present.It is portable and has allowed him to work on this masssive and still-incomplete project in various locations.The photos have provided us many a fun jaunt down memory (and pre-memory) lane as they are projected in slide shows on his computer screen. The scanner is perfect for this application. ... Read more

Shoddy hardware/software integration
We purchased this product with the expectation of using the automatic document feeder to scan and store documents. We have two other scanners but none with a document feeder. After fiddling with the scanner for hours, and after more than an hour with Micro-tek technical support, we were informed that the Macintosh software controlling the document feeder was defective with no date for any fixes. We were told that we could keep the scanner while checking their web site for fixes, or return the scanner. Conse-quently, as the scanner was of no use to us, we returned it. It is amazing to us that a com-pany can ship a product and software which doesn't work together. We can't imagine that we're the first Macintosh users to test this product, yet it took Microtek technical support more than an hour to figure out the software didn't work. We'll never buy another Micro-tek product again. ... Read more

Poor software, cannot run as limited user
I have had no hardware problems with the two 9650s I have in the office, but the software bundled with this scanner is terrible (at least on XP). (1) There's a broken online registration stage during the install, which wants you to register but then can't connect to the server; (2) possibly related to 1, the scanner is not detected when you are asked to plug the USB cable in, despite what the docs say - you just have to click finish and hope it is detected after reboot; (3) DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT to set this thing up for a limited user. Textbridge won't work. You need to be at least a power user. Even then, you have to make sure you run every piece of software in the bundle, especially ScanDirect, first, as admin, before you can do so as power user. (4) other fun problems with this software include the mysterious presence of two Visioneer TWAIN drivers in every 'select scanner' list, only one of which works, a weird problem where all scans from within Acrobat 7 came out inverted (white on black) after running the TextBridge setup utility, the TWAIN interface previewing fine, but refusing to scan, the TWAIN interface ignoring what you set as paper source (flatbed or ADF) and color/bw settings and doing whatever it wants, with no recourse. I have reinstalled this entire package once on for one of the scanners, and three times for the other.
Broke down after 3 months
The ADF motor burned up and melted the plastic after 3 months.After numerous aggravated phone calls to visioneer tech support, they sent a replacement that is a refurbished one.The light on the refurbished model now takes a whole 1 minute to warm up.So I'm sick of calling into visioneer tech, went out and bought a fujitsu scanner, more expensive but much better quality.

Save money and buy Xerox 510
This is a decent scanner with respectible specification.It works as well as comparible scanners on the market and includes a good software bundle.But do yourself a favor and buy the Xerox Documate 510 if you like this scanner.It is the exact same hardward/software bundle with a different name on the front for almost half the cost. ...

it is aweful.
I have had one for a long time. The mac OS X drivers are terrible and glitch up your system. It is possible to get them to work if you monkey with them for a while but not worth it. Seems to be a good piece of hardware but the software sucks so bad it cannot be redeemed.

WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY
This scanner was a great disappointment. It never worked for one moment fresh out of the box! As you can't return it to the store you are reduced to immediately spending more money on a long distance phone call to get a replacement. Not a new one that is. Just someone else's rebuilt problem. The buttons didn't work on the replacement! Help was only another long distance call away, and we all know how long it can take to be the 'next person in line'. Finally, the third unit arrived. Yet another rebuilt piece of garbage with dirt and cloudy streaks on the inside of the glass! Makes for nice looking scanned images! unstable

Junk
There is no Tech Support for the 5800/5820 scanners.They are the most worthless pieces of junk ever to be assembled.I would not buy this crap if it was being sold for a dollar.The Windows XP drivers are corrupt and Tech support does not answer their phones.When they actually do answer the phone they put you on hold for hours.Most likely because they have an unending stream of furious customers.

Not a great scanner just ok
I've had this scanner for just a little over 2 years.After the first year I developed a problem with the power supply cable connection in the back of this unit.The scanner's power supply cable unit in the back became loose and it would not recognize that the power supply cable was actually connected to it.I ended up having to hold the power cable into the power socket for it to recognize its own power supply cable.I then had problems with the usb cable.The usb cable is directly attached to the back of the unit which cannot be replaced.For some reason or another it failed to work correctly by not recognizing that it was plugged into my computers usb socket.I would have to play with the usb cable itself in order for my computer to recognize that it was connected to my computer.It finally stopped recognizing that I had it plug into my usb outlet on my computer.I think that the wiring inside of this scanners usb cable may have become frayed, due to poor quality.After having so much trouble with the cables and then the last issue with the usb connection, I gave up on it and have sent it to a better place- the trash can.
not the newest but still does a great job
Yes, of course this scanner is a bit older.I've had mine for a while now and it still does a great job.I am on my second computer with this scanner, in fact.It's extremely easy to use and the one touch buttons are a great help when you're in a hurry.The resolution is also good and I can scan photos big enough to do whatever I want with them.The top cover slips off easily for items that are too large or long.

Big Time Failure
Don't buy this scanner. I'm a light user, and this scanner failed after 18 months. The software was okay, the hardware quit working after the warranty expired, and the scanner unit needs to be replaced by a repair center. It's so costly, the repair is not worth it. Do yourself a favor and go with another brand.

Still a great scanner
Why am I writing a review for a scanner that has been out of production for 2 years? Because it's so darn good! I've had mine since January 2002 and it has performed without a hitch. I have upgraded to Mac OSX since I bought this and was really disappointed Epson did not make a driver for it. Luckliy I discovered Ed Hamrick's superb "VUESCAN" software. Get it at hamrick.com. On OSX or Windows it simply blows away any Twain driver or Epson driver. It rivals silverfast AI. The best thing about this scanner is the firewire interface. It's rocket fast for print scans. Why have scanner makers not migrated to this far superior interface?
Professional Photographer
Buyer Beware. I bought two of these scanners and both were defective. The first one had a large piece of plastic shaving under the scanning glass. The second one did not operate as the scanning light did not illuminate and I had to return that one too. I really liked the features that this scanner offered but I am not convinced of the reliablility of this product and would not recommend. If you decide to buy it-check your unit out closely when you get it home. ... Read more

Great hardware, very good software
First, a warning.As I type this, Amazon's description states that this "Recognizes text, numbers, handwritten numbers, bar codes, and dot matrix documents."That description applies to the EXECUTIVE version of this product, NOT the Standard.Standard's software is NOT designed to output bar codes, handwritten numbers, and dot matrix documents.A test of handwritten numbers just now shows that it will read a few neat handwritten numbers, but only about 30% of them.As for dot matrix, the manual states that this WILL read good quality 24-pin printouts, but not poor quality 12-pin printouts and worse.If you need that kind of capability, buy the Executive. easy to use - great for Macs
I purchased the IRISPen II with the intent to use it for my Master's thesis. So far I am very pleased with it. Works well for research and notetaking
I have been using the IRISpen for about a year and have been extremely satisfied. It is particularly useful for taking notes and reads standard text from books with few errors (and very quickly too). It can be set up for left or right-handed use and can be adjusted for text that is light or dark. I have the executive version, which I believe adds some additional features (recognizes handprinted numbers, bar codes, and dot matrix text and can adjust for different shades of paper). Drawbacks: Must remain attached to a computer (it inserts text into an open application as it scans), many errors on some text--light printing, unusual font, etc. Overall, an excellent product that I would highly recommend for researchers, students, etc. I use it nearly every day. ...
