Rating: Summary: Worth its weight in gold Review: HP has never really known who to market this device to. I do legal and real estate research and when I first saw a co-worker with this device, I knew I had to have it. It was just beginning to sweep the courthouse where I work when HP discontinued production. The price has sky-rocketed for a used device as this little toy can literally double your productivity if you are out in the 'field' making copies. Mine paid for itself in the first 3 months and I have had it for 3 years.
Rating: Summary: simply the best idea ever Review: Most of the title examiners I know cannot figure out why Hewlett Packard has stopped manufacturing this item. I looked at this scanner 3 years ago when they cost 750+ and only a couple of land surveyors owned one. I bought one when the price came down to the 400 range as did just a few other title abstractors; now I have to keep mine under lock and key. The copies are clear enough (although not as good as photocopier copies) and it simplifies my job tremendously to be able to make my copies with a scanner rather than spend my day looking for a working photocopier. The battery works for roughly 8 hours and the charger holds 4 batteries so there's no running out of power. Some examiners download to a pc but I prefer to use a portable desktopr copier (made by HP). Time is money in my business and if HP were smart they would make themselves a lot of money by reissuing this device.
