Title: Prone to hardware failure
Product review: All HP Scanjets, EXCEPT HP Scanjet 2300c, are equipped with an exclusive combination of two sensors: Staggered pixel CCD and Tri-linear CCD.Also...Long story, short: In a period of exactly 2 years, I've seen two HP Scanjet 2300c scanners fail due to hardware issues. My original newly-bought HP Scanjet 2300c couldn't slide the moving device under the glass all the way after less than a year. A year after that, the refurbished HP Scanjet 2300c replacement, sent by HP to replace the original, had a lamp failure, causing heavily faded images with green tint. HP tech support also suggested interference with other electronics near the scanner (speakers, monitors, computer...).Perhaps I was terribly unlucky. The HP Scanjet 2300c had excellent quality...when it worked. But reliability and lifespan are both important as well.
