Two more recent but less robust and less costly competitors, the Epson DS-1630 Flatbed Color Scanner and the Xerox Duplex Combo Scanner, are closer to the N6600's size and girth. The 2015 Fujitsu fi-7260 (replaced by the soon-to-be-reviewed fi-8270) is similar in speed and specs to today's ScanJet, though somewhat larger and several pounds heavier (as is another recently reviewed scanner, the Raven Pro Max). (I should add that this ScanJet is one of four flatbed models that HP debuted in May the others, under the ScanJet Pro brand rather than ScanJet Enterprise Flow, are scheduled for review soon.) The Enterprise Flow N6600 fnw1 (right) is roughly half the height and weight of its 2014 ancestor (left).Īnd unlike conventional sheetfed scanners whose paper trays often stretch to two or three times their unused length, with the HP's combination sheetfed/flatbed design, the input tray extends upward but the scanner's actual footprint-the space the machine occupies on your desktop or counter-doesn't change. At 5.2 by 21.1 by 12.8 inches (HWD) with its input tray closed and weighing a mere 13.4 pounds, the ScanJet Enterprise Flow N6600 is a few inches smaller and about 10 pounds lighter than the ScanJet 7500 mentioned above. For the most part, modern scanners half the size of their long-living predecessors do the same or more work. Not only have scanner product names and nomenclature changed over the years, so have the products themselves-drastically so, as you can see in the image below. Scanners Change Slowly: Eight Years Gone By Only its price keeps it from becoming our newest favorite enterprise-grade scanner. It's fast, accurate, and robust, and it ships with highly proficient scanning and document-management software. The N6600 is, as its name suggests, an enterprise-level machine for busy offices with reams of scanning to do.

In fact, the sheetfed/flatbed combo seen here, the $1,499 HP ScanJet Enterprise Flow N6600 fnw1, replaces a model we reviewed way back in January 2014 (the ScanJet Enterprise Flow 7500). Sheetfed document scanners have become office staples, but corporate-class, high-volume scanners that combine sheetfed and flatbed designs have been scarce over the past few years.
