HP Scanjet N8400 Scanner Series
N8420 • N8460
Easily scan, save, and manage documents,
using a reliable flatbed scanner.
Rapid duplex scanning
Perform fast, single-pass, duplex scanning at speeds of
up to 35 pages per minute (ppm) and 70 images per
minute (ipm) with the HP Scanjet N8400 Scanner
Series.
Improve workflow by creating up to 30 scan profiles
for a variety of document types—such as paper size,
file location, and more—using the included HP Smart
Document Scan Software (SDSS). Assign four common
profiles to one-touch buttons to instantly execute
pre-assigned settings.
Scan loan and mortgage documents, medical records,
and ledgers using the legal-size flatbed scanner. And
with HP dual-sensor technology, you’ll see scanned
text clearly, and get excellent, 3-D detail in images.
Enjoy the convenience of a copier—use the one-touch
Copy button to send a scan to the default printer.
Increase efficiency
Confidently scan up to 1,500 pages per day with this
robust scanner. Reliable HP technology ensures the
scanner will work throughout the day, to give you the
scans you need.
Capture each page, every time you scan. If more than
one sheet begins to feed, ultrasonic double-feed
detection stops the scanner and notifies you to reset
the paper in the automatic document feeder (ADF).
Spend less time preparing documents for scanning,
and see higher-quality results with Kofax®
VirtualReScan®. Get clear scans at 200 dpi or scan at
up to 600 dpi
Quickly turn stacks of hard copies into digital files,
while you attend to other work. Just drop a stack of up
to 100 legal-size sheets into the ADF, and press a
button to begin scanning.
Reduce start-up time and get your scans when you
need them. Patented HP technology keeps the lamp
warm and ready to scan.
