HP Scanner Automatic Document Feeder

Here is my thought about Hp scanner automatic document feeder.

This document feeder is a handy product which currently costs about GBP160 to buy. It is cheaper in the US at $199.

WHAT IS IT?

The HP Scanjet Automatic Document Feeder attaches to HP Scanjets and is compatible with the Scanjet 5100, 5200, 6200 and 6300 series scanners. It then scans documents automatically.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

You put up to 25 pages of loose paper in it and click a button.

The loose pages will then be scanned into your computer. Wow! Now if you only scan one document a day, you might not want to shell out 160 for one of these, but if you do a lot of it, or pay someone to stand over a scanner and do it for you, the economics of this might start to make sense.

INSTALLATION:

Attaching it to your scanner is simple: you take the original lid of your scanner off by lifting it vertically and the docment feeder slides into the attachment holes in the lid. There is actually a socket in the back of the compatible scanners which is designed to take the document feeder and you plug the feeder into it (not surprisingly!)
USE

The automatic document feeder is hinged so you can lift it up if you don't want to use it, but you just want to manually scan something in the usual way. This is a good feature because it means that once you've bought it it can just stay on all the time. You do still want to scan manually things like photographs or anything on a funny sized bit of paper.
You put the paper in it by moving the blue lever at the back of the scanner to position 1, then you put the papers you want to scan in the feeder face up with the first page on top. It copes best with A5 and A4 documents though it can cope with legal size, hich may well be useful for some people. Once the papers are in place, you move the lever back to 3. I don't know what you do with position 2 though!

ADVANTAGES:

You can use your existing scanner (provided you have a compatible one) and turn it into an automatic one, rather than have to replace a perfectly good machine in order to get better functionality.

You no longer have to stand over the scanner for half an hour at a time!
Using the TWAIN driver that HP supply with their scanners you can set this to scan all the pages at once and use it with Omnipage, Readiris or something similar to turn scanned pages into usable Word documents automatically.
This is great if you've lost the original soft copies of things (in the old days we just ended up retyping stuff) or have other OCR needs.

DISADVANTAGES:

In operation, this is a quite noisy.

The thing it doesn't do for you if scan direct from a book - it is designed for loose leaf pages. So if you want to scan in a few pages from a book you have to photocopy them first then put the copies in the feeder, which results in poorer quality and a waste of time, since you've had to stand over the photcopier anyway so you might just as well have scanned directly (though of course scanning is much slower than copying.)
It's quite expensive for something that only does 25 pages at once then you have to press the lever and insert some more. -You might find it is worth paying more to get a bigger beast, or just not paying at all!

HP and Compaq support

Here the fact about HP and Compaq support.

Nowadays, companies have several types of support for their products. Support is intended to make the customer feel good about what they bought, it is intended to let the customer know that the company is there for them. Computer companies have them, even cosmetic companies have them- like Cover Girl. The HP customer support is one that I am very familiar with because I tend to buy HP printers and just recently bought an HP computer.

Why do I buy HP computers? I don't know- because everyone else does?!?!? I haven't done any statistical analysis on which printers can print the most pages in a minute. All I know is that in my mind, a good printer is synonymous with HP.
But. let me tell you a true little story I had with HP and HP support:

It was a fine March day in 2006. I was sitting in my home, eating some candy and drinking a Slurpee, and printing some documents. Then all of a sudden my printer just stopped working. Out of nowhere. I don't have a degree in Technology, but my technological skills are quite advanced, so I looked at the printer, analyzed it and realized that absolutely nothing was wrong with it. Ok, I tried printing again. Nothing. How could this printer, which stood by me so faithfully in grad school, be betraying me now?!?!?! How baby, how (at that point, I had a bound with my HP printer). So I decided to go online and query the type of printer I had. Guess what world? When I queried my HP printer I found HUNDREDS of complaints concerning this printer. Not only that, but I saw an article from HP acknowledging that the printer was faulty and therefore HP was giving refunds during a certain time, like from December to February.
With this newfound knowledge, I went onto the handy dandy HP interactive Live Chat and got an HP'er:

HP : Good Morning, How may I help you?
Me: Hello my friend. I am having problems with my printer
HP: Ok, did you check the ink, is there ink? Did you check the paper, is there a jam?
Me: I have checked all of that. The problem has nothing to do with me, it's you.
HP: How, tell me the problem
Me: The printer stopped working. Your printer has a fault.
HP: I don't think so. Did you check the cords, maybe it is bent. Did you drop the printer, how long have you had it?
Me: 2 years
HP: It is kind of old. Maybe you dropped it while you were moving.
Me: But it was working PERFECTLY and then it just died.
HP: I am sorry about that. HP is here to help you.
Me: You need to send me a new printer.
HP: How? We have new ones that you
can buy for $120. Oh they are so wonderful!
Me: My computer not working is your fault, not mine. And I have proof!
HP: Proof , what proof?
Me: Go to this website, read it, do you see it ( I gave the HP guy a website I had found)
HP: (silence)
Me: Do you see the part where HP acknowledged that this printer was faulty
HP: Yeah, but unfortunately for you , the time period is over.

HP is not exchanging those printers anymore
Me: So what am I supposed to do with this faulty printer I bought from you?
HP: You can purchase the one I told you about. Oh, it works great, you'll love it.
Me: I don't think so. Someone in HP needs to send me a new printer.
HP: Miss, miss, are you there? HP is sorry for the inconvenience but we appreciate your business. Please check out our website and search the site for new products. Can I help you with anything else today?
Me: You haven't even helped me to begin with. I put all my trust in you. I trusted HP. I was faithful to you and this is how you're going to treat me?
HP: I am sorry you are unhappy.
Me: Unhappy? I feel betrayed! How could HP do this to me. I remain faithful and loyal to you, and this is how you treat me at the end? I have told all my friends to believe in you, and this is what you do to me?
HP: I am sorry.
Me: Sorry isn't enough, what are you going to do?
HP: There is nothing I can do. Do you need help with anything else?
Me: No.
HP: Thank you so much for calling HP. Have a great day.

Needless to say, I got no help with the "HPChat guy" who was supposed to support all of my needs. Unfortunately, what the HP Chat guy didn't know was that I love to write letters and I will write and write until I get what I need. So I went onto HP's actual website where they have a place where you can leave comments. They also have a place where you can choose who you want your email to go to . Well everyone, I chose to send my letter to the President of HP. Yes, I sure did. In my letter , I informed the President, Mr. Hurd, about my printer, how HP knew it was faulty, yet I was getting no help. Then I pressed "SEND."

The next day I got a call from India. You know how it is, everyone outsources nowadays. His name was "Roger", that was his Americanized name, his real name was probably Raj ( I have a lot of Indian friends, so I know). So he calls me from India meaning that it was like 1 am Indian Time. He called me and informed me that he was aware of my problems and was going to do everything in his power to help me. Really? According to him, he got an email and was instructed to help me. Hmm, interesting. He gave me an address in California and told me to send my old printer there. Once I did that, HP would send me my new printer. At first I was hesitant, what if HP forgets to send me my printer? Anyways, considering that the guy was calling me from India, I cut him some slack and did what he said. I think at the end of the day, they ended up sending me a brand new printer with a pre-paid postage envelope/box and I used that pre-paid box to send them my old printer because they absolutely wanted the dysfunctional printer back.

The Best HP Laptops

Here is my thought about the best hp laptops.

With an aim of grabbing back the lost grounds, HP has launched a series of new laptop models. Known for its technically advanced features and sophisticated innovations, HP, has not left a single chance this time.

HP 530

The new 530 model notebook PC from HP assures low-cost computing without compromising mobility or style. This model comes with a 15.4" TFT Display, carrying a 80GB Hard Drive and 512MB DDR II RAM. It also has Intel graphics along with a DVD-RW super multi drive ensuring full satisfaction of the customers.

HP NC 6320

This model from HP is designed to keep you connected to all your business-critical networks and data at all times. The model coming with Intel Core 2 Duo Processor also features Bluetooth, and Microsoft Windows Vista Business Edition / XP Professional. The model from HP coming in 15" TFT display also has up to 120GB Hard Drive & 1024MB DDR II RAM promising advanced characteristics.

HP NW 9440 Series

The NW 9440 Series comes with an integrated 3G Broadband Wireless and a range of enhanced security features, which are absolute business professional. The model from HP, the biggest producer of laptops comes with an Intel core due/ core 2 duo processor. The model with 14.1" Active Matrix TFT Display also has facilities like Bluetooth, and Microsoft Windows XP professional.

HP NX 7300 series

This model from HP features Windows starting at 2.54 kg and being only 30 mm think you can experience best-in-class mobility with your choice 15.4-inch TFT WXGA display with or without BrightView technology. New Intel Core 2 Duo processors allow simultaneous use of multiple applications and with a range of wired and wireless communication. The model provides 15.4" WXGA LCD Display and guarantees wide screen. This lap top assures up to 80GB Hard Drive and 1024MB DDR II RAM, guaranteeing excellent performance.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Multi-Function Printer

My thought about HP Officejet Pro.

Hewlett Packard has been in the thick of action over the past one month. News has been flowing in from the HP camp regarding the new tools, fresh tie-ups, and a huge of array of printers that have been introduced, most of them at the PMA at Las Vegas in the US. One of the latest additions into the HP family is the office printer, Officejet Pro 8500 and its subsidiaries. It's a multi-function printer that can scan, copy and fax along with basic document and graphical colour printing.

Printing technology is based on Scalable Printing technology and it outputs monochrome prints at 1200 X 1200 dpi and colour prints at 4800 X 1200 dpi. The printer comes with a 384MHz processor and 128 MB onboard memory.

Printing speed for monochrome and colour at normal mode is claimed at 19 pages per minute, and we know that the rates claimed are never close to actuals. However, first page out takes around 15 seconds, which is unusual for a non-laser printer. Recommended monthly printing volume at the max is stated as 1250 pages which lies in the unrealistic realm.

By default, the printer comes with a USB 2.0 port to hook onto standalone systems and an Ethernet port for network printing. PictBridge port is also available on it. Enhanced versions of this printer offer Wi-Fi support.

The basic version of HP Officejet Pro 8500 is priced at £150 while the Wi-Fi enabled model, HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One carries a price tag of £200. The price is not an issue on this printer but its workability over a period of time is. A maximum of 1250 pages per month will not suffice any average office and this point will definitely lead to its unpopularity; unless they rectify it quickly.

Troubleshooting Tips For Missing Or Corrupt HP Printer Driver

My suggestion how to solve this problems.

At some point in your computing life, you might have encountered problems with computer peripherals. While HP is renowned for its quality peripherals, they are not exempt from problems that are common amongst most computing equipment. This article will tell you 3 hassle-free troubleshooting tips for missing or corrupt HP printer drivers.

First of all, you need to check whether the drivers that you have are updated drivers and sometimes hardware can end up being on a shelf for months before it is sold, and usually by the time a user purchases the product, newer, more updated drivers would have been released since. This is especially so if there may have been crucial updates made on major operating systems.

Sometimes, the store attendant might be helpful enough to remind you to find updated drivers, especially if the product that you are buying has been on the market for more than a few months. You can do this by checking online on the HP website for the most updated drivers for your product model and serial number.

Downloading and installing the new drivers should be the first step you take to solving the problem. Usually, there is no problem with the hardware, but of course do not discount technical fault at all. Taking a software approach first is the fundamental start to solving your problem.

Secondly, there might be problem with hardware, and this could be the communication between the printer and the CPU. Whether it is a fire wire, USB or even the old printer port, you need to check the cable or even your connection ports on both your PC and the affected peripheral. A malfunction could result in the failure of the computer to read the status of the HP printer and it might tell you that the drivers are corrupted or missing.

Check the cable by running another piece of hardware through it and check the port by doing the same thing. If the port is the fault, then you need to switch to another one. Modern machines often give the end user more than one option to connect the equipment to the computer and this can be anything from USB, fire wire or even a wireless connection.

The third method you should be considering might be a reformat of your current computer and doing a clean install from there. In this day and age, with high capacity external drives, this is not a problem anymore as all crucial information can be transferred to these drives while the main OS files are formatted and reinstalled.

The process might take a longer time, but it eliminates possible internal system and registry conflicts that may be preventing you from properly installing your HP hardware. While there are plenty of cleaning and sweeper software out there, they might not do enough to weed out every possible problem there is.

As you can see, there are many possible routes you can take to troubleshoot this problem, hassle free and without much bother. Compatibility issues top the list when it comes to computer problems, and manufacturers often do not spare any effort to rectify these problems before they launch a product or software. But it is also unavoidable in a sense that there are so many configurations out there and hiccups can still occur no matter how many quality checks are conducted.

Basic About Computer Firewall

My thought about computer firewall.

A firewall is a computer software to provide protection from hacking attempts on the Internet. It is very important to install a proper firewall software to protect your computer against spyware and virus infections. A large number of security companies have developed software firewall. Some of these programs are free for personal use.

A software firewall is basically a "packet sniff". Data is transmitted via the Internet moves to form packets. Firewall Software intercepts these packets, analyzes its content and decide whether it is harmful to your computer. If the package contains harmful content, the firewall blocks it from accessing your computer, preventing damage to your computer.

Most spyware, malware and virus programs can be prevented by installing a firewall properly. Firewalls can also prevent software from accessing the Internet and send information without the user's knowledge. Even if a virus is installed on your computer, it will still not be able to access the Internet and send sensitive data such as numbers, credit cards, etc.

The latest version of Microsoft Windows, Windows Vista has a firewall built into it. This means that if you're using Vista, do not download and install additional software firewall. But if you still want to install a third-party firewall, you may do so for extra protection.

For maximum protection, it is advisable to invest in an Internet Security Suite. This is a software package that combines a virus scanner, scanner, email protection spyware and firewall. By installing this software, you can get complete protection against all types of malware programs which spread via the Internet.

See characteristics
