Look familiar? Hewlett-Packard tends to seize opportunities when it sees them, so it's teamed up with Visioneer for HP's next generation of ScanJet scanners. The ScanJet 4s (top) is a personal sheetfed scanner modeled on Visioneer's popular PaperPort (see New on the Menu, December '95, page 49). The ScanJet 4c (bottom) is a desktop flatbed scanner that offers the same features as the previous ScanJet 3c but adds PaperPort 3.0 software. The software allows users of either scanner to apply OCR (optical character recognition) to scanned files on the fly and to organize and share documents via links to other applications.
The ScanJet 4s ($429 list) offers 200-dpi resolution (400-dpi resolution in enhanced mode) and 4-bit grayscale. The 600-dpi ScanJet 4c ($1,179) offers a top resolution of 2,400 dpi and 30-bit color and ships with Adobe Photoshop LE and Caere's OmniPage LE OCR software. An automatic document feeder ($559) and a transparency adapter ($759) are available as options. 800-752-0900.
