Description
Creative projects are easy using the HP Scanjet 4400c series color scanner. You won't have to wait for outstanding results - preview scans in as little as 13 seconds. Make the most of your paper by effortlessly arranging a single photo into different sizes on a single sheet of paper. Get professional results at the touch of a button using "scan", "e-mail", "photo reprint" or "copy" buttons. You can make photo-quality color copies when paired with your color printer and post images directly to photo-sharing sites with share-to-Web feature. Convert typed documents into electronic files you can edit with included optical character recognition (OCR) software.
The ScanJet 4400Cse from Hewlett-Packard is a very reasonably priced scanner, designed mainly for home use but suitable for small businesses and higher-end graphics applications as well. Hardware resolution is a solid 1,200 x 1,200 dpi, ensuring crisp, clean images, while 48-bit color depth results in vivid, true-to-life colors.
The 4400Cse isn't the fastest scanner on the market (13-second preview speed at 1,200 dpi), but other timesaving features such as one-touch scanning to e-mail, photo reprint, and copy even it out nicely. USB and parallel-port connections are provided, as is a USB cable for ease of setup.
The included software bundle includes ArcSoft PhotoImpression, PhotoFantasy, HP PrecisionScan Pro with OCR capability, and more. A solid scanner that will keep most users quite happy, the 4400Cse also comes backed with a 90-day manufacturers warranty.

Absolutely the best

The photo scans are amazing. The scanner is also easy to use and set up. If you want amazing photo scans at a great price than I recomend the 4400cse.
BETTER GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY

I bought the scanjet 4400cse scanner 4 months ago. It just quit (conviently after the 3 month warranty expired, probably built in planned obsolescence). No mercy from HP.
It performed fairly well, except the IRIS OCR was [unsatisfactory]. I bought FineReader Pro 5.0 OCR, which works wonderfully.
It's totally SCANTASTIC!

Hewlet Packard does a wonderful job of making photo hardware. I have their DeskJet 932C which is mind blowing, and their 4400Cse Scanner? Scan'tastic! It enlarges your photos beautifully to several times their normal size and has 48 Bit color and 1200x1200 DPI!
Great at 300DPI or less, Above problems with Black
[ Posted: 2002-01-08 ]
I'll probably end up taking this scanner back and trying to find another one to replace it with. Whenever I scan pictures that have a high black or dark content at anything above 300DPI, it scans two pairs of vertical stripes that are about two shades lighter than they should be. The stripes are about an inch apart from each other and about 4 inches from the edge.
I talked to HP support, which was great, but they had no solutions for me. I exchanged the scanner and the replacement had the same problem. Of course I tried all the basic things from HP, but to no availe. They are sending me an XP driver CD(since I upgraded during the time I was having the problems), to reinstall, but I don't think that will help at all and I will end up looking for another product.
I was very pleased witht he software and tech support though, too bad the hardware isn't living up to my expectations.
A Basic Scanner for Basic Needs
[ Posted: 2001-09-26 ]
My first choice was to get a HP ScanJet 7400C, the model I use at school. However, I thought the $500 price tag was too pricy for the light scanning I do at home (OCR, photos, artwork) so I settled with the HP ScanJet 4400. I expected to see similiar quality images, but I was disappointed with the results. At first, I thought it was my LCD monitor, but my CRT monitor showed the same thing- the photo images were a bit too red and grainy. Artwork also came out fuzzy. At max resolution scan, you get a so-so image. The OCR function isn't bad though. I scanned a not-so-crisp worksheet and it was able to decipher the majority of it without a problem. The software is minimal, and there isn't a hard copy manual. It is, however, easy to setup. Bottom line, it will do just fine if you're just looking for a basic scanner (but may leave you wishing that you'd tried the similiarly priced/featured Epson 1250)
