Hello All,

HP ScanJet Pro 4500 fn1 Network Scanner
Kodak i2420 Scanner
HP ScanJet Pro 2500 f1 Flatbed Scanner, (L2747A)

each document needs to be put on the platen individuallyWhy? Are the documents of such bad quality that they won't feed properly? What kind of documents are these? And, how many of them need scanning?

apoligize hdhondt for the delayed reply.. You did not get my point, i was answering to your question in my comment where you mentioned in your first comment that "Note that flatbed scanners are useless for bulk scanning as each document needs to be put on the platen individually".
I've gone thru few of the scanners that automatic take the papers (Feeders) and scans one by one if i put a bunch of documents for scanning.
So i found below HP Model where i could see it has automatic paper feeder that i needed actually.
HP ScanJet Pro 2500 f1 Flatbed Scanner.
So is it a good one to go with? or any other good scanner you can suggest..
AGAIN:- I need a scanner that automatic takes the document inside,scan one by one if i put on a bunch of documents. That's all i'm looking for.
Appreciate your time and response!! :-)

Hi Nelson,
I've been trying very hard to understand your comments, but I can't. You seem to be saying two things that are opposites. For example:
(1)
"scan bulk of my documents"
"one by one"
Bulk scanning implies the opposite of one-by-one.
(2)
"take the documents automatically"
"scan one by one"
Taking documents automatically implies the use of an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), which is the opposite of scanning one-by-one.
(3)
"scanners that automatic take the papers (Feeders)"
"scans one by one if i put a bunch of documents for scanning"
Automatically taking the papers (via a feeder — ADF) is the opposite of scanning one-by-one.
(4)
"a scanner that automatic takes the document inside"
"scan one by one if i put on a bunch of documents"
Automatically taking a document inside (via an ADF) is the opposite of scanning one-by-one.
I hope you can see the problem that we're having in trying to help you on this. You're using words like "automatic", "bulk", "bunch", and "feeders", all of which imply scanning many documents via an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), but then you always follow it up with a "one by one" comment, which implies the opposite. Please try to clarify this for us. Thanks, Joe

Hello Joe,
Apologize for the confusion in my comments.
Requirement:- A scanner, that automatically takes the documents (Via-Feeder) for scanning if they are kept in bulk (Saye, 10-20 Docs for scanning on the feeder).
That's all what i need in short.

Hi hdhondt,
I don't need a high duty scanner since i don't have more than 50 papers for the scanning so i think HP would work decent then.
Hello Fred,
Yeah, i don't have much Docs to be scanned everyday so i think HP would be fine for me.
Appreciate for the flawless support guys....
Thank you!!

The question asks for scanner recommendations. As is often the case in questions asking for product suggestions of any sort, there are no "right" or "wrong" answers — just people's opinions on the products that they do or don't like. Because of that, several of the posts by the experts who participated in this question qualify as "solutions". I don't think one scanner recommendation is better than the others, so I am marking the first post as the Accepted Solution and the others as Assisted Solutions, and splitting the points evenly among the experts.
