HP ScanJet N6010

The ScanJet N6010 is a sheet fed document scanner which can take upto 50
sheets at a time. For sharing and storing docs, it converts scanned
document/images to PDF; and if you want it even prints the scanned output. You
have six one-touch buttons on the front panel that directly call the associated
scan function. The ScanJet comes bundled with a software that manages documents,
OCRs scanned images, and facilitates support for e-mail and fax. There is
another software specifically for business cards that provides you with an edit
window to make changes at the press of a button.

In our tests, it took 22 sec to scan a document directly to PDF in simplex
mode and 2 secs extra in duplex. In fast scanning mode, it took 11 secs each to
scan in both simplex as well as duplex. The speed of scanning multiple
text-intensive documents was 18ppm at 300 dpi. Kodak i40 (reviewed earlier)
gives 25 ppm but at 200 dpi. We loaded the scanner with a mixture of 50
different pages (A4 docs, newspaper clips, brochures and visiting cards), which
scanned all those in 2 mins 35 secs in B/W and 11 mins 50 secs in color mode.
You can even take direct printouts of scanned pages but the time taken depends
on the speed of your printer.

Bottom Line: It provides good results with all the regular stuff that
you need to scan in offices.
