These are the Scanjet 7800 (Sheet-feed type), Scanjet 8300, Scanjet 8350, and Scanjet 8390 models. These scanners will officially launch at the ComputerWorld Expo 2006 in Ho Chi Minh City this July.
Some new features of these scanners – according to Mr. Irving Oh, General Director of the Printing and Printing Solutions Group at HP Vietnam – include a significant improvement in machine speed, thanks to HP’s Instant-on technology (no startup required), allowing the device to operate immediately after pressing the button without waiting for the warm-up light.
