HP’s Reentry To Mac Scanner Market Marries Form & Function

User friendly, Attractive, Good resolution at an affordable price, Good software bundle

Not all features function on the Mac yet, Decals detract from appearance

The ScanJet 5300C is an attractive looking scanner that molds form and function together into one. HP has long been known for the quality of its scanners, and their reentry into the Mac market should prove a success. The 5300C shows HP at its best:...

I sold it and got an Epson!

We purchased this ScanJet 5300c a year ago. We found that it really did well on high-contrast typed documents. "Photocopies" of forms filled in with ink (especially blue) did poorly. We FAX documents a bit. Never have we been able to scan a page...

easy-to-use buttons. Quick installation. Low cost.

not recommended

good scan quality and color

hard to use software, problems with installation
