Transform paper into digital workflows
Today’s business landscape is increasingly flooded with data. To stay afloat, businesses must
have the agility to process and react to new information quickly. It’s no wonder then, that
successful businesses are turning to document capture solutions to transform piles of paper
into streamlined digital workflows.
Document capture is the process of creating a digital version of a paper document for
integration into your business workflow. As the first step in creating your document capture
strategy, this document will help you choose the HP scanner that’s right for you. By
considering your workflow from a few different perspectives, we’ll make it easy to see which
scanner or scanners are a good fit for your business.
Why HP
Renowned for their reliability and performance, HP ScanJets provide the best mix of ease-ofuse and sophisticated features to help you get the job done. HP offers a broad portfolio of
scanning devices, including PC-connected flatbed and sheet-feed scanners for individual
users, and networked scanners that can be shared among multiple users.
You can rely on HP for innovations like HP EveryPage, which uses a number of technologies,
including ultrasonic multi-feed detection, to help ensure that every sheet in the automatic
document feeder (ADF) is scanned. Plus, select HP ScanJets for business can be remotely
managed and configured with HP Web Jetadmin2 fleet management software, which can
ease the deployment of company-wide document management systems.
In the following pages, we’ll walk you through a few aspects of your workflow, describe
corresponding scanner features that will enable your workflow, provide details on the full
portfolio of HP scanners, and finally see an example of how a business found the scanner to
meet its needs.

Two ADF designs
HP uses a C-path design for flatbed scanners
and a straight path for sheet-feed scanners.

and is designed to integrate with the flatbed

How to choose
Choosing the right scanner for your business starts by asking four questions about your
scanning workflow:
1. Do you need to share the scanner? (Choose between PC-connected and networked
devices.)
2. What will you scan? (Choose a flatbed or sheet-feed device.)
3. How many pages will you scan? (Choose the device that can handle your daily workload.)
4. How will you manage your documents? (Choose document capture, workflow, and
scanner management features.)
Because each of these questions corresponds to specific scanner capabilities, your answers
can lead you to the scanner that’s the best fit for your business. Pages 5 and 6 feature the
portfolio of HP ScanJets for business. Scanner features are detailed in a table format, with
columns grouped according to the questions listed below.
Do you need to share the scanner?
Choose between PC-connected and networked devices
Deciding between a PC-connected or a networked digital sender or scanner depends on how
many people will use the device. PC-connected scanners are appropriate for individuals who
regularly scan a number of documents that must be verified on their PCs. HP ScanJet
PC-connected scanners connect to a computer using a Hi-Speed USB interface. Networked
devices should be deployed in environments where multiple users need access to a scanning
device. These devices use an Ethernet interface to connect to the network.
What will you scan?
Choose a flatbed or sheet-feed device
The kinds of materials you scan can determine whether you need a flatbed or a sheet-feed
scanner. Flatbed scanners feature a flat glass scanning area that allows you to scan items
that cannot be processed by the ADF. Businesses may want to choose a flatbed scanner if
they frequently scan books, journals, or other bound materials; bulky or very delicate items;
or photos or other material that must be scanned at resolutions greater than 600 dots per
inch (dpi).

straight-path design
The straight path handles a variety of media
types and allows scanning of plastic-coated
and heavier materials because the scanned
material can remain flat.
Most business documents, however, and even material like ID and business cards, can be
easily and reliably handled by HP sheet-feed scanners. Featuring a straight-through media
path, HP sheet-feed scanners can handle more media types—including plastic-coated and
heavier materials—through the ADF than flatbed scanners (see image at left), and also have
a smaller footprint than flatbed scanners.
Choose paper size handling
While most offices primarily scan documents in A4 (210 x 297 mm), letter (8.5 x 11 in), or
legal (8.5 x 14 in) sizes, some businesses need the ability to scan wide-format
A3 (297 x 420 mm) or tabloid (11 x 17 in) documents. Select scanners are capable of
handling media up to 309.9 cm (122 inches) in length. HP flatbed and sheet-feed scanners
offer a variety of media-handling capabilities to meet the needs of every office.
How many pages will you scan?
Choose the device that can handle your daily workload
The number of pages a scanner is designed to process during one day is expressed as the
daily duty cycle. You can estimate the number of pages you plan to scan each day and then
choose a scanner with a recommended duty cycle that meets or exceeds your estimate.
HP ScanJets offer a range of ADF input capacity, which is the number of pages you can load
into the ADF’s input tray. A higher ADF input capacity means that users can load larger jobs
and limit interactions with the device.
