Consumer review by: ggolden2007 (cnet.com)

Don't buy unless you enjoy agony

don't waste your money, you will be very sorry you ever saw this scanner

I can think of no upside to this scanner

Slow, constant software lockups while scanning, very noisy, big foot print on the desk

DOA

Scanner arrived without setup instruction, hard copy manual and was DOA. The ADF appeared to draw in a document, but once it was delivered to the tray an error notice of a jamb was delivered. We attempted to flatbed scan a document and the scanner...

Good Value in the Right Office

When I first brought this scanner I had a problem getting it initialize at first as well but with the newest set of HP drivers and software it works perfectly. I did not experence any issues with the length of the USB cable. Mine is on a 16ft cable...

Built like a tank. Autofeeder will draw just about everything accurately. Duplex Scanning works great execpt in certain situations. (See Below) Huge legal sized flatbed with really high resolution. Quick scan buttons easy to setup and works great with...

The duplex reversing system jams if you try to duplex scan anything that has been tri-folded. Although this is a little of a hastle, it is easy to just scan each set of sides separtely in the same job and reassemble in ParerPort or the free HP scanning...

Scanjet 8270, TERRIFIC MACHINE

I recently "upgraded" my HP Scanjet 8250 to an HP Scanjet 8270 scanner and I am so pleased. I have always been a believer in using individual computer accessories vs. the "all in one" as I have found the performance and durablitly is much better than...

In my opinon Junk

We have few of these scanners. They are continuously jamming and we have had to replace the feeders on some of them. Cheaply built, I would not recommend these scanners. We have alot better luck with Canon scanners.

HP does not repair scanners

Our library purchased the hp Scanjet 8270 Document Flatbed Scanner a little over a year ago and it worked fine up until a day or two after the one-year warranty expired. It started making a whirring noise and produced an illegible image. We have been...
