HP Scanjet 8200 Review

by Richard Jantz

- WHAT'S HOT: The HP Scanjet 8200 is designed with offices in mind. Capable of scanning both reflective items and transparencies, the 8200 is equipped with an 8.5-by-14-inch scan bed, making it ideal for processing legal-size documents and other large materials. Workgroups that need to do lots of optical character recognition work can get an optional 50-page automatic document feeder for $500 more. The 8200 is the first flatbed scanner in this market to offer a whopping 4800-dpi optical resolution. Such a high resolution would theoretically allow you to make a tabloid-size enlargement from an item as small as a postage stamp or 35mm slide, without any loss of detail. And unlike most scanners, which use a single CCD (charge-coupled device) or CIS (contact image sensor) for scanning, the 8200 uses three different CCD sensors--two for color, and one for monochrome--each of which is optimized for different scan modes and resolutions, according to HP.

User Reviews for HP HP ScanJet 8200 (C9931AA2L)

  • Reviewed by: behshid

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Very easy to install. Fast scan time. 11x14 inch scan capability.

    Weaknesses: The operating software not very easy to follow. Re-sizing scanned pictures a difficult task.

    Overall Evaluation: Overall, an excellent scanner with extremely high resolution and fast scan time. A breeze to install. The operating software included is not very easy to follow and several important functions are missing. However, an upgrade version is available!!
