ScanJet5 Network Scanner
Has any one becides myself done the FreeBSD conversion on these Old HP Network Scanners. The units were originally design to work on a NT network. Yes obsolete, the reason for the conversion. These were work horse units. I suspect most of the failures are HD related, old, and run 24/7.
Check out the link below. http://www.madole.net/scanjet/ David |

Re: ScanJet5 Network Scanner
15 ppm, document feeder holds 50 pages, Up to legal size paper. The only bummer is the scanner resolution is only 300-400 dpi but works well, NO COLOR. NONE is lost in the conversions. No files are retained on the internal harddrive. If there is an error on the file transfer, they are retained till the unit is restarted. This is useful encase the users computer was offline. Can be retrived via FTP.
Pluses: 2 sided to printer, pdf, tiff, email etc. All files are corliated. Can convert 1 side to 2 side and vise versa. Can add to documents. You have control to add paper sizes, example A8. Works well with OCR software. Can send files directly to yor PC or server. These units are cheap $35-50 on ebay. Units weight in around 25-30 lbs. Built for heavy use. |

Re: ScanJet5 Network Scanner
If its a sheet feeder problem, He has some bad roller ( pickup wheels) and or the page lifter. They use the same system on their laser printers. The mfg brand work better and longer than the after market.

Re: ScanJet5 Network Scanner
Yeah, its usually bits of paper that get stuck
We did buy some replacement rollers for the paper pick up I think we need something more like a photocopier for robustness
