Hp Scanjet Pro 2500 F1 Software Free Download

I bought HP SCANJET PRO 2500 F1. it was supposed to work with MAC....I bought it just for that. I 've done an update to big sur but it doesn't work the MAC doesn't recognize it. You have to do something because you lay and I spent money for nothing.

The HP ScanJet Pro 2500 f1 Flatbed Scanner ($299.99) is a light-duty yet versatile document scanner that combines a flatbed and a sheet-fed scanner with an automatic document feeder (ADF), so it can scan both delicate or thick items and stacks of paper. It has a good software suite, including a scan utility and drivers, plus document-management, optical-character-recognition (OCR), business-card, and photo-editing programs. At default settings, the 2500 ($552.27 at Amazon) is notably slow at scanning to searchable PDF (sPDF) format, but its speed can be improved by changing the color mode. There are faster and/or more capable small-office flatbed scanners, including the HP ScanJet Pro 3500 f1 Flatbed Scanner ($899.00 at Amazon) and Canon imageFormula DR-2020U , but the 2500 delivers a lot for a modest price, and is a good addition to an office with modest yet varied scanning needs.

Design and Features

The 2500 is fairly compact for a flatbed scanner, measuring 4.8 by 7.8 by 13.8 inches (HWD) and weighing 9.5 pounds, so you might be able to fit it on one side of your desk. It has a recommended daily duty cycle of up to 1,500 pages, compared with a duty cycle of up to 3,000 pages for the HP ScanJet Pro 3500. The sheet-fed portion of the scanner has a maximum optical resolution of 600 dots per inch (dpi), while you can scan at up to 1,200dpi with the flatbed. On top is a 50-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF) for scanning multipage documents.

Software

Two discs come with the 2500, one with Twain, WIA, and ISIS drivers, and the HP Scan utility, the other with ReadIris Pro 14 for OCR, CardIris Pro 5.5 for business-card scanning, Nuance PaperPort 14.5 for document management, and ArcSoft PhotoStudio 6 for photo editing. The Twain and ISIS drivers let you scan to nearly any Windows program that has a scan command.

Performance

The 2500 is rated at 20 pages per minute (ppm) for simplex (one-sided) scanning and 40 images per minute (ipm) for duplex (two-sided) scanning, where each side of a page is considered a separate image. In scanning to image PDF at default settings (200 dpi, color), I timed it at 16.7ppm for simplex and 26ipm for duplex scanning.

The HP Scan software does not include a separate preset for scanning to searchable PDF (sPDF) format as opposed to image PDF. So for our official timing, I used the same scan profile as for image PDF to scan our 25-page, 50-image test file, simply changing the PDF type, as is our standard procedure. I timed the 2500 at 6 minutes 32 seconds, which is unusually slow, even for scanning in color mode. I also did some ad-hoc testing in other color modes, and by switching the mode to black, it finished much faster, averaging 3:22, a minute and a half slower than it took to scan to image PDF. That matches the time of the Xerox DocuMate 3220 ($499.99 at Amazon) , another low-price flatbed scanner, but was well off the pace of some other comparable models. The Canon imageFormula DR-F120 ($380.00 at Canon) scanned and saved the same document to searchable PDF in 1:38, just 9 seconds longer than it took to scan to image PDF. The Canon DR-2020U did one better, losing no time in the text-recognition stage, taking 1:23 in scanning to both image PDF and searchable PDF formats.

The 2500 did well in our OCR testing, reading our Times New Roman test page with no errors down to 8 points and our Arial test page down to 6 points. The business-card software, CardIris Pro 5.5, did reasonably well in our testing. I used the flatbed for business-card scanning, as the 2500's ADF doesn't support it. You can scan multiple cards on the flatbed, with their data sorted into separate records. A few cards were error-free, but most had several errors.

Conclusion

The HP ScanJet Pro 2500 f1 Flatbed Scanner is a good fit for very small offices in need of a light-duty scanner that can handle a variety of material, from books to business cards to multipage documents, and includes a robust software suite. It lacks the durability (as reflected in its daily duty cycle) and USB 3.0 connectivity of the HP 3500, and can't match its speed, but comes in at a much lower price. It's not the best choice if you need to scan to searchable PDF; the Canon imageFormula DR-F120 and the Canon imageFormula DR-2020U are much faster in that regard. But the 2500 can fit the bill for general-purpose scanning in a micro office.

I've just phoned to my mother. After a new start of the PC and scanner she opened xsane and the message is now : "Erreur d'ouverture du priphrique 'hpgt2500:libusb:001:004'; Paramtre non valable" (that means in english : Error whereas the scanner opens activity 'hpgt2500:libusb:001:004' ; wrong setting)

HP's ScanJet Pro 2500 f1 is a neat flatbed scanner with an automatic document feeder (ADF) built into the lid. It's a squat device, looking much like the top section of a small office multifunction peripheral. On the front panel are a collection of customisable shortcut buttons covering the most common scan-to-PDF and scan-to-image functions, while the back has ports for power and a USB connection - there's no network capability.

Although it undercuts some of our favourite desktop scanners on price, the ScanJet Pro 2500 f1 doesn't compare too badly on specifications. It's rated for 20 pages per minute (ppm) at 300dpi, and with dual sensors it's able to capture both sides of an original in one pass, for a potential output of up to 40 images per minute (ipm).

HP has designed the ScanJet Pro 2500 f1 with no lip at the front edge of the platen, so you don't have to risk snagging the edges of original documents as you fumble to retrieve them from the scanner. Unfortunately, the bezel at the other three sides isn't quite flush with the glass, and we found it was possible to tuck the corner of a photograph under the plastic if we weren't careful when positioning it.

Devices at this price rarely come with advanced scan management software, but even so this is probably this scanner's weakest area. HP ships the ScanJet Pro 2500 f1 with TWAIN drivers and a tweaked version of its regular scan software. It can handle formats including JPEG and searchable PDF and can scan to destinations such as files, email and the cloud. Options for the latter are limited: while there's DropBox and Google Drive, Evernote and SharePoint are absent. Automatic page orientation is also missing, and users will need to configure blank page detection manually. The scan interface itself is an improvement on the inflexible and over-simplified version that HP's consumer products get, at least.

Anyone used to the hushed mechanism of higher-end document scanners is in for a shock when they first power up the ScanJet Pro 2500 f1. While the scan head itself sounds smooth, you can hear the friction as paper passes through the ADF - the paper mechanism is lined only in plastic. We wouldn't necessarily expect better at this price, but the U-shape path means that the paper guides do more work, generating more noise, than in a device with a J-shape paper path. This could also prove an issue if you need to scan stacks of thicker or smaller than usual media. Although 6x4in photos weren't bent after passing through the ADF, it could only feed them reliably if we loaded them with a portrait orientation.

The ScanJet Pro 2500 f1 is cheap for a desktop document scanner, but perhaps the only area where this shows is in its basic software. While neither fast nor robust enough to cope with multiple users or high volumes, its platen and ADF give it welcome flexibility for a single user facing a range of tasks in a small office. It's a niche product, perhaps, but it could prove ideal where there's not the space or need for an MFP or faster, higher volume document scanner. 2351a5e196
