Customer Review: An unreliable scanner that I would not recommend at this price
Summary: 1 Stars
HP ScanJet 5590 Digital FlatBed Scanner
Quality-wise, this scanner is fine for my needs; I am scanning old photos for archiving and the software that comes with it is easy-to-use and I was impressed with how easy it was to fix up photos, albeit I was looking for something quick.
That being said, I would not recommend this scanner for the following reasons:
1) It locks up in the middle of scanning, so you have to periodically save your images. This seems random and on two occasions I've had to re-scan a number of photos. The scanner just gets stuck and stops responding until I do a cold re-start, which means pulling the plug.
2) The ADF is useless. I couldn't get it to take anything in without jamming, if it even took the paper in. It's the reason I got the scanner and a big reason why I am returning it..
3) The price is ridiculous for this thing; it's bulky and the ADF is useless. I don't really see how it's any better than a cheaper scanner, as the the price is inflated by the useless ADF scanner.
Don't waste your money with this piece of garbage; I'm taking it back.
Customer Review: Works great so far!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an amateur historian and genealogist, the HP Scanjet 5590 is one of the best investments I've ever made. The scanning quality is superb and the document feeder has worked perfectly so far.Customer Review: Jams constantly - software is awful
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this scanner because it scans both sides automatically, however I have found that it jams nearly every time I use it and the software is very problematic. After owning this scanner for a couple of months I have decided to rid of this scanner and purchase something better.Customer Review: Great Scanner
Summary: 4 Stars
I was a little concerned about buying this after reading some of the negative reviews but I'm happy to say it works quite well. Were using this at home to scan real estate docs & it handles the mix of letter & legal size pages just fine with no jamming (thus far anyway). Its not nearly as fast as the scanner at the office but that one cost about 5X more$! The good thing about going with HP is they have great support & software updates. I've used it on both the Mac & the PC without any issues to speak of.Customer Review: The document feeder is junk
Summary: 1 Stars
My office bought this for me -- it wasn't my idea. The flatbed scanner by itself is probably fine. The automatic document feeder (ADF), however, is non-functional. Perhaps it has fed pages satisfactorily TWICE since I started trying to use it. Otherwise, it has twisted pages and jammed them (perhaps 2 times) or, in the vast majority of cases, simply refused to feed the pages at all. I'm giving up and surplusing this piece of junk.
