Title: Think twice before buying this scanner!
Review: Before you buy this item, you should know that HP does not sell replacement parts. And if you scanner goes out of warrantee, it's unfixable.I am an engineer and have discovered a flaw in the design of this scanner. If you should get mixed up with the power supply, and connect the wrong one, not only will it blow the fuse, but it will damage the most critical part in the device... The CCD pick-up. This happened to me. A 16.5-volt power supply was hooked up instead of the supplied 12 volt one. It didn't blow the fuse but it did blow the CCD pick-up.HP does not sell this part, so it cannot be fixed. It becomes Landfill instead. A ten-cent diode could have prevented this but HP had to cut corners. So it is we the consumers that have to pay, and help to destroy the environment as well. Think twice! Don't buy it!Don't buy any other HP scanners it all the same story.
