Summary: Decent Enough. . .
Comment: I've been using this device for about 12 months now and I'm happy enough with it. Perhaps in the future, I might try this product which seems to get stellar reviews:

Yes, it does seem to jam a lot, and when it does, it does seem to be a pain to get it out, depending on where it is. But for the hundreds of documents I scan in, mainly office papers, it does the work well enough.
It creates searchable PDFs, and I simply scan in a document through the ADF, and it creates a file, subbed by the month, and I'm able to later search the documents by the month.
I also use the flat bed for documents that are strangely shaped, or look as though they won't fit the feeder, but those are rare for me.
Overall, I'm happy with it, but I do wish I got the item I linked to above instead, because I don't think I would've expected as much for only $260. For the price of about $460 that I paid for this. . . I think we all expected less hassle with jams. . .
Customer Rating: Summary: Does not work on Vista!
Comment: If you are running vista, save your money! Do not buy this scanner!!! Tech support will get it to print to their crappy software, but your computer will not recognize the driver. You will not be able to use it with any purchased software.
Customer Rating: Summary: Keep looking
Comment: I have had problems with this scanner and document jams in the adf also...and they are regular 8.5 x 11 sheets. I have also had problems with a blue line running through my docs (if in color, grey if in b/w)and there is no way to clean the glass. The printer does not even arrive with perfectly clean glass so everything has smudges all over it.
Customer Rating: Summary: Grabage
Comment: Doesn't scan, doesn't feed. Doesn't accept software that is for scanning. Doesn't come with appropriate scanner software. I was surprised. We use a lot of HP products and generally have been satisfied. This one is the exception. It really is trash. $700 down the toilet. Tha's what I paid from Amazon. As you can see these now cost less, and I can understand why. Still a lower price for something that doesn't work is no bargain.
Customer Rating: Summary: Do Not Recommend
Comment: Problems:
1. Will not scan document information in light blue colors.
2. Sometimes cuts off lower 1/4th of the document.
3. Documents sometimes jam in the feeder and are difficult to remove/pull out. (When that happens, I sometimes have to completely shut down my computer and restart.)
I do not recommend this scanner.
If you need to scan just documents, buy a Xerox scanner.
Our office also has a Xerox Documate 250 vertical feeder scanner that is superior to the HP Scanjet.Feeding is much easier and documents rarely jam. If they do, they are easier to pull out.
One advanced feature that the HP Scanjet 7650 has is the ability to scan 35mm negatives. I used this feature and it works. The drawback is that it takes a long time. It's a lot easier just to take the negatives to a nearby photo lab (Walmart and CVS Pharmacy are near me) and have the technician transfer the negatives (which convert to pictures) onto a CD-ROM for around $7.00. (Something like 144 pictures can be put on a CD-ROM.)
