HP ScanJet Enterprise Flow 7000 s3 Sheet-Feed Scanner

Compared with competitors costing more than $1,000, the $850 HP ScanJet Enterprise Flow 7000 s3 Sheet-Feed Scanner is a good value. Like its slightly less-expensive sibling, the ScanJet 5000, it comes with a complete software bundle, including document management and business card scanning and...

Low price; Fast scanning; 7,500-page daily duty cycle; Text recognition when scanning to searchable PDF files is fast compared with competitors; Includes excellent software package

For much less than many similarly rated document scanners, the HP ScanJet Enterprise Flow 7000 s3 includes excellent software and delivers a high 7,500-page daily duty cycle and fast scans.
