I've had this scanner for about a year and haven't experienced any paper jams, but it is slow, and since I connect to a laptop, if you plug the scanner into a different USB port than the one it was installed, better be prepared to reinstall it again, which is long, slow process (almost 30 minutes last time). The software is lame and I think I'm on my third "driver" update. Shame, because you can't beat the price of this scanner, but performance and quality of the unit are suspect at best.

Do not buy this Scanner!!
rating: 1
I only rated this product with 1 star because no provisions are made for negative 10!!!
I requested a scanner for my department and was provided with this one. Since receiving it, it has been a source of much discontent for me. It was hoped acquiring this machine would assist in productivity but since our acquisition we have made more calls to the service department than we did before. Firstly, it jams for no reason!! My personal assistant now wastes time feeding one sheet of paper at a time to be scanned. It is totally unreliable and stops working without notice. If the document contains a signature or anything apart from "typewritten fonts" the entire document is scanned in "gibberish"!!!
This product was a waste of money!!!

Worst scanner ever made
rating: 1
Installation was a nightmare. Constant problems with driver compatibility with other HP devices. The paper feeder jams on a regular basis. Overall a complete waste of money

Complete waste of money
rating: 1
The automatic document feeder basically doesn't work. HP should indicate on the packaging that the ADF is more "ornamental" than "functional". I've resorted to using it as a flatbed scanner, but even this is terrible. The driver software is totally busted. It keeps trying to install re-install itself before every scan (I have to manually kill the install process everytime). I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, using alternate drivers... everything.
What a waste of money.

Terrible Scanner
rating: 1
From install through use, this scanner was a terrible performer, and a major productivity waster.
Installation turned up compatibility problems between this scanner and other HP devices! When the dust settled, the ADF started jamming from the first scans. Clearing jams out of the ADF was a nightmare, and as one reviewer wrote, you really would almost be better off trying to scan your documents with a shredder!
Using a paper path cleaner sheet didn't help anything. After a huge waste of time trying to deal with HP support (in India), I downloaded four - four! - patches, which somewhat improved the jamming problem. However, within days the scanning software started having problems, and wouldn't scan. More time wasted on the phone to HP support yielded another software patch - for the wrong product!
We finally gave up in disgust and bought the Fujitsu ScanSnap Fujitsu ScanSnap S500 Clr 18PPM/36IPM Dupl Scanner like we should have in the first place - a worlds better product, with much better software.
Please, save yourself time, energy and money and don't buy this piece of cr*p - I wouldn't use it as a boat anchor.
