Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. Its entry-level sibling is rated at 2,000 scans per day, and the Brother and Canon models have daily duty cycles of 1,500 scans. Of the machines mentioned here, the ScanJet 3000's daily duty cycle of 3,500 scans is by far the highest. The ScanJet 3000 comes with a 50-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF), as does the ScanJet 2000 and the ADS-2000e, whereas the DR-C225, on the other hand, has only a 30-sheet ADF. In any case, none of these sheet-feed document scanners require much of your desktop space.


While the ScanJet 3000 looks like the ScanJet 2000 ($695.00 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window), at 7.5 by 12.2 by 7.8 inches (HWD) with its trays closed, and weighing 7.5 pounds, the former is somewhat smaller and lighter than its entry-level sibling's 6 by 11.8 by 6.8 inches and 5.7 pounds, making it closer in size to the Brother ADS-2000e's 7.1 by 11.8 by 8.7 inches and 7.3 pounds, but somewhat taller and lighter than the Canon DR-C225's ($500.00 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) 6.1 by 11.8 by 8.7 inches and 6 pounds. All this makes the ScanJet 3000 our new Editors' Choice personal desktop document scanner, though it's also good for a small or micro office or workgroup. Optical character recognition (OCR) accuracy is about average, and speed is excellent. The ScanJet 3000 includes a well-rounded software bundle, and, in testing, the hardware performed well.

An upgrade in capacity and features from the entry-level HP ScanJet Pro 2000 we reviewed recently, it is faster than the Editors' Choice Canon imageFormula DR-C225 and the Brother ImageCenter ADS-2000e. The HP ScanJet Pro 3000 s3 Sheet-Feed Scanner ($429.99) is a good value as a moderately priced desktop document scanner.
