We use the HP ScanJet 7650 with Ariel 3.4. On the one hand, it's a good scanner. On the other hand, it's really made for documents. I asked HP about changing the threshold so I can scan a book better on the bed, and they said 'why would you want to scan a book?'. I would have prefered the Fujitsu fi-6230 but it costs about $1200 instead of $800.
Our issue with the ScanJet 7650 is that we don't use their software, we use ariel, and we can't change the light threshold, so if something is just a touch off the glass it scans black. The software is complicated to use, it seems to me, and our warranty is now over. But it's well made, just keep the glass clean.

It's one that is 'lying round' and not used much. Hoping to replace the scan Partner 15C with one that has a USB connectivity. All replies greatly appreciated?
