Appearance, application and a complete set
the Scanner of Hewlett-Packard Co. ScanJet Pro 4500 fn1 — the senior in a ruler from three similar models where ScanJet Pro 3500 f1 and ScanJet Pro 2500 f1 enter also. Its dimensions (width of 52 cm, depth of 38,7 cm, height of 14,5 cm, the weight of 6 kg) in comparison with them it is slightly more, and nevertheless, it is possible to place the device without problems on a surface of a usual desktop or on the shelf.
the Device of Hewlett-Packard Co. ScanJet Pro 4500 fn1
the Scanner possesses the touch screen of management and two mechanisms of scanning: by means of the device of the automatic submission of documents (ASD) large volumes standard on a format of standard sheets (density of 45-120 g/sq.m.) are processed and by means of a tablet — the photo, the image on firm or reinforced surfaces, books, etc., and also not format images (the maximum size of 216 x 356 mm). The touch panel settles down on the forward party of the device. Behind — LAN port, USB port and the food socket.
According to the description on a site, the device is equipped with the built-in web server for access to information on the device and work in a network which is displayed in the web browser Google Chrome, Microsoft COR by IE or Mozilla Firefox.
APDwith use of function of bilateral scanning are provided by device productivity to 60 images or to 30 pages a minute. The recommended day productivity — to 4000 p. on the APD device and 100 p. on the tablet scanner.
the Cost of the device varies from 50 to 62 thousand rub depending on a distribution network or an Internet resource – that is caused by its high efficiency, existence of network and, therefore, mission for office needs. Relevance of this decision can be appreciated, considering the transition of the companies accelerated today to and, respectively, need of high-quality and fast digitization and placement for electronic archive of large volume of external and internal documentation – even in the conditions of small office and limited space.
Hewlett-Packard Co. ScanJet Pro is rather compact to take place on a desk
the Producer confirms(laid on, transport sheets and so forth) for archive to digitize entering documentation. Nevertheless, as we were convinced when testing (see further), a photos and the graphics scanned on Hewlett-Packard Co. by ScanJet Pro 4500 fn1, also look in electronic form very qualitatively.
the scanner, the guide to the installation, two compact disks enters a set of with the software of Hewlett-Packard Co. Scan, drivers and an additional software package of Hewlett-Packard Co., leaflets with information on technical support, a slip, the USB cable, the food adapter, food cords.
the Complete set of Hewlett-Packard Co. ScanJet Pro, is scanned on it
by
On disks there are drivers of the scanner of Hewlett-Packard Co., Hewlett-Packard Co. WIA; programs of Hewlett-Packard Co. Scan (for scanning), Hewlett-Packard Co. Scanner Tools Utility (for scanner service), Hewlett-Packard Co. Windows Installer, I.R.I.S. Readiris Pro, I.R.I.S. Cardiris, Nuance PaperPort; drivers ISIS, Kofax VRS, Hewlett-Packard Co. TWAIN (for image scanning directly in appendices).
Connection and control
the Scanner is compatible in the Windows 7 operating systems above (including 10), Mac: OS X El Capitan 10.11. For connection to a network it has a standard cord of food, to the personal computer connects by means of the USB socket, and to a network — by means of the Fast Ethernet 10/100/1000 Base-TX socket.
At connection of the scanner to the computer (Windows 7 OS) drivers for the device was used, and also a client program were established automatically (without disk), and in two minutes the scanner was already ready to work. In the course of installation the program asks how the user plans to connect the device to the computer: on a wire, wireless network or an USB cable, but it is possible to postpone this question.
the Touch screen
of the Menu of the touch screen consists of three sections: scanning start on the connected computer, on the e-mail address and in the network folder. For a file transfer through a wireless network it is necessary to adjust in addition Wi-Fi connection — similar to identification in a network of Wi-Fi from the smartphone (a network choice from the list available, password input). Let's note that the device found a network and was connected to it with hardly any trouble at all.
in the field of the touch panel the button of control of parameters, a badge of readiness of the scanner to work and a badge of a condition of network connection settle down. Nearby there are Power buttons, "Back", "Home" and "Reference".
Control of scanning
However, it is possible to scan the document without involvement of the external panel — the client program of Hewlett-Packard Co. Scan established on the personal computer (in the presence of Internet connection the disk for installation is not required) is for this purpose intended. It represents the interface with various settings. It is worth repeating that in the package with the scanner is included the operation manual which can also be downloaded on a site of the producer — but when testing it was not necessary to use it. Menus of the touch screen, as well as the program established on Personal computer Program for scanning are completely Russified and intuitively clear, and all main settings are made in one window.
byProcess of scanning
As it was already mentioned, different types of documents can be scanned on Hewlett-Packard Co. ScanJet Pro 4500 fn1 in two ways: by means of the APD device or on a tablet. Therefore the device choice which is made proceeding from type and the volume of documents becomes the first obligatory control of process of scanning always.
to
the Tablet — for scanning of single documents
In the menu of the program presented standard profiles of scanning: "To keep as PDF", "To keep as JPEG", "To send by e-mail as PDF", "To send by e-mail as JPEG", to keep as the edited text (a mode Optical recognition of symbols), "To send to a cloud", "Daily scanning" (standard settings). Each profile can be adjusted at discretion. For example, it is possible to set a format of the saved text or graphic file: PDF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, Text (. txt), Rich Text (rtf), and also PDF with possibility of search. At a choice of the Send to a Cloud profile the file destination gets out: local or network folder, e-mail, DropBox or GoogleDrive. Separately the size and document orientation, a ratio of the size and quality of the image and other settings, and also a place of saving of the turned-out file on the PK.<"91>" is established by
there is also an opportunity to send files directly to the appendices of third-party producers supporting the TWAIN, ISIS and WIA protocols, for this purpose it is necessary to establish corresponding ON from a disk.
Expanded adjusted options of scanning include automatic removal of empty pages; automatic orientation, determination of color, cutting and exposition, removal of traces from a puncher, for the PDF.<"93>" format
Examples of the scanned images
(Click on the image for increase)
We experimented contents alignment, cutting of edges, background cleaning, automatic installation of threshold value, a color exception, and also Optical recognition of symbols
Tried also process of hire of the document via the APD device. Here it is worth noticing that for correct operation of the device it is necessary to observe density of paper recommended by the producer and competently to build directing under a format. At installation of a short glass of paper (the maximum quantity of sheets varies depending on density, on the average — 50) it is necessary to level it carefully. Too thin, thick, slippery paper crumpled, etc. inevitably causes a jam — which, however, is eliminated very easily.
the Scanned document in repeated approach: permission 1200*1200 (at the left) and 200*200 (on the right) dots per inch
Should not forget an obvious thing that the file size at the exit strongly depends on the chosen permission. For comparison: the same color document scanned with the resolutions of 200*200 and 1200*1200 dots per inch, as a result weighed, respectively, 677 KB and 14,5 Mb. Thus the second option ideally looks even at the maximum approach, on a photo features of a letterpress printing) are visible even. In the first case at approach pixelization is visible. But if to look at the document in an original size, the difference is not noticeable. We draw a conclusion that the maximum permission is necessary for professional work with documents and a photo (for example, for their subsequent increase), and for daily work (especially text) it is reasonable to keep numerous documents in small permission to save a place in storage.
Use of network functions of the device is interfaced by
Scan does not support e-mail accounts about what the corresponding prevention emerges. For data transmission on a network it is required to establish and adjust the post program.
Processing of images
Separately should note presence on an enclosed disk with the software of the professional Kofas VRS package intended for final processing of scanned documents: removals from them minor data (half tone, pollution, empty pages), allocations of the necessary data (the text and the records even made against fillings, become more accurate), automatic turn of the page depending on its orientation and mn. other. The matter is that the cost of this software package directly from vendor is rather great, and its existence in a set ON becomes an excellent bonus for the buyer of ScanJet Pro 4500 fn1.
Automatically analyzing , Kofas VRS, in fact, completely will replace manual processing of the document and will make it more accurate for recognition, and due to decrease in the size of each turned-out file will cut down expenses on storage of electronic copies. Each of options of the program can separately be adjusted: after Kofas VRS installation from a disk the program is started on the personal computer
byof the Summary
the Cost of the device of Hewlett-Packard Co. ScanJet Pro 4500 fn1 (as well as the word Pro in the model name) says that before us the device for professional use. Compact and at the same time productive to office measures. The one who should test it in work, will be quite satisfied with basic functions of this scanner: speed and quality of scanning, and also opportunity to save the file in the PDF format with text recognition. All this gives great opportunities for work with the scanned material. If the user intends to apply Hewlett-Packard Co. ScanJet Pro 4500 fn1 to instant transfer of images on a network, it should deal in more detail with network settings of the scanner and to master being applied on the disks PO.<"125>"
