with time-saving productivity features. With a duty cycle of 5,000 pages per day, this
robust, reliable machine is ideal for customers seeking a dedicated departmental document
management scanner.
Save time with rapid scan speeds and a 200-page ADF
The HP Scanjet N9120 offers fast, precise dedicated document scanning - up to 50 pages
per minute (ppm) and 100 images per minute (ipm) in black and white, greyscale or colour
at 200 dpi, using the 200-page automatic document feeder (ADF).
The ADF automatically pulls documents through the scanner for convenient, unattended
scanning. Simply drop a stack of documents - up to 200 pages - in the ADF and press a
button to scan the entire stack while you attend to other work. The ADF features automatic
duplexing for quick, easy scanning of large scan jobs. Dual scan heads simultaneously scan
both sides of the page in a single pass, so you can save time and increase productivity.

Customise scanned documents
The scanner features an integrated ink imprinter4to
help you accurately track scanned hard-copy
documents. The integrated imprinter allows you to
customise scanned hard-copy pages by printing a
page number, character string, or distinguishable
mark on the back of the scanned page. Vertical
print capabilities are programmed to support date,
time, document count, and custom messages - up to
40 characters. The imprinter features are easily
accessible through included ISIS and TWAIN
drivers (see Easy Integration for more information).
Reliably scan every page
The HP Scanjet N9120 uses ultrasonic double-feed detection to reliably scan each and
every page. The scanner stops when a double feed (two or more pages) is detected and
notifies you to reset the paper in the automatic document feeder. There’s no need to double
check - when the scan is complete, you can feel confident every page has been captured.
Built-in hardware page rotation saves time by eliminating the need to manually rotate hardcopy pages. The scanner allows for rotation in the hardware, so you get the results you
expect while maintaining fast A4 scanning.

Quickly complete common scanning tasks
The HP Scanjet N9120 has two Quick Start buttons on the front control panel which allow
for quick scanning startup. The Scan button launches the HP Smart Document Scan Software
where you can select a profile to scan from, or start a scan using the HP Smart Document
Scan Software profile assigned to the button. You can easily produce single or multiple
copies of scanned documents or images using the dedicated Copy button and an existing
default printer—the copies go directly to the default printer assigned to the PC connected to
the scanner.
NOTE: The PC must be powered on and an existing printer selected to create a copy from a
scanned document or image.
Additional buttons automatically launch specific tasks:
Cancel - Cancels a scan or copy job in progress.
Tools - Launches the HP Scanner Tools Utility where you can associate the scanner Quick
Start buttons with scanning software, get status information, maintain the imprinter, and
view information on scanner settings and maintenance.
Attention LED - Provides status information about the scanner.
Power Save - Turns off the lamp and places the scanner in Power Save mode (saves energy
when the scanner is not in use). When you are ready to begin scanning again, press the
Power Save button to wake up the scanner (see Start scanning jobs faster).
Selecting scan profiles
Scanning profiles provide a fast, efficient way to scan. You can configure settings for
numerous profiles for specific, frequently used scanning functions. Profiles describe the scan
settings, profile options, and destination of the scanned document, such as a SharePoint
portal, FTP, Microsoft®Word, or others. You can create customised scan profiles using the
included HP Smart Document Scan Software - then assign the profiles to Quick Start buttons
on the control panel where you can easily launch them. See the onscreen Help for details.
The HP Smart Document Scan Software includes a set of predefined scan profiles for typical
scanning tasks. You can create new profiles, as well as modify, upgrade, delete or restore
profiles at any time. See the HP Smart Document Scan Software onscreen Help for details.

Start scanning jobs faster
HP’s proprietary Instant Lamp-on scanning technology keeps the scanner lamp warm and
stable so the Scanjet N9120 is always ready to scan. This innovative technology reduces
start-up time when the scanner bulb has been turned off.
High-quality results
HP scanners feature technology that delivers an optimal combination of scanning resolution
and performance for fast, high-quality scans. You can easily adjust the resolution to fit any
job. Scan documents in low resolutions to get the smallest file size, or scan with higher
resolution (up to 600 dpi) for better image quality. For getting the best image from difficult
documents such as those with coloured backgrounds, the HP Scanjet N9120 includes Kofax
VirtualReScan®(VRS®) Professional software. The Kofax VRS Professional software is easily
utilised simply by checking a box in the “Scan” section of a scanning profile in the HP
Smart Document Scan Software.
Note: The Scanjet N9120 speed specifications of 50 ppm/100 ipm are based upon
scanning at 200 dpi. Selecting higher quality settings increases the time it takes to capture
a scan.
