One of the special features that this scanner boasts - on its box and in all of its literature - is the ability to make scans of slides or photo negatives. In fact, I have scanned some odd items like holograms and foil cards and they come out with little to no distortion or "light spots" (reflections from the light used to actually scan the image). The colors remain sharp and real, the resolution remains equally impressive. Every single item I have scanned has produced a computer image that looks almost identical to the original.
I have since used the scanner to scan everything from blueprints to legal documents, trading cards to box tops. I've never had a photograph I have scanned look grainy using this device. And in comparison to the scanner I used to use at work, this is light years better as the colors come out looking exactly like they do on the item being scanned.
Unlike handheld scanners, which have never seemed to produce the proper image for me, flatbed scanners like this one largely take the responsibility literally out of the users hands. It is that easy to use.Īs far as the relationship between the HP Scanjet 3570c and the previous scanners I have used, this is a huge step up.
HP 3570C SCANNER SPECS MANUAL
I was able to scan several items before the first time I even had to open the manual to look something up. Moreover, once an image is accepted for scanning, the program closes and launches the program that allows you to rename (a handy trait considering the scans always come out named "scan.jpg"), alter or manipulate the orientation of the image. There is no need to search around the hard drive for a program to open, as the touch of the button opens the appropriate program. This device is also very easy to use when it comes to the actual scanning as all one must do to initiate a scan is press a button on the front of the scanner. This is ideal for those who are not familiar or proficient in computers.
HP 3570C SCANNER SPECS SOFTWARE
As well, the disc with the software to run the Scanjet loads up smoothly on Windows 2000 and it walks the user through the installation quickly and in a very uncomplicated manner. The 3570c comes with all of the cords needed to connect it to your computer and most of them are even color coded so it makes connecting the scanner ridiculously simple. I am a bit of a novice when it comes to computer items, so the ease of use of this machine is a real plus. It works just like a photocopier and it is big enough to hold a single legal-sized sheet of paper.
You simply lift the cover, place the item you want scanned onto the glass plate, close the cover and hit a button. The 3570c is a flatbed scanner which is remarkably easy to use. I purchased an HP Scanjet 3570c in order to upload images to my website and it has been a breeze to use. I've worked with my HP Scanjet 3570c for six years now and the plug-and-play capabilities of the scanner make it still worth buying today! So, when I went to buy a scanner myself, I had some frame of reference for what I actually wanted. Add to that, the whites always ended up coming out pinkish. Then, I started scanning things on a scanner where I worked and the colors always came out wrong. I should say, I used to be simple on scanners. Scanners are that way with me if it scans and the picture the computer displays looks like the one I scanned, I am a happy camper. The Basics: The HP Scanjet 3570c is a decent scanner for a reasonable price, with no serious issues, offering home consumers a great option for scanning!įor some appliances and computer accessories, I am a real simple person. The Good: Looks good, Scans well, Easy to use interface
