Speaking of scanners with sheetfeeders, I picked up an
HP Network ScanJet
5 a while ago that I am about to put into service (hopefully, I don't know
if it works yet; also, as an aside, it is labeled as an evaluation unit
from HP).
Dang, it doesn't work. I guess that's why it was free :/
I think I made need to repair the cable that connects
from the control
panel to the main unit. It looks like one of the wires may have been
severed.
When it powers on, it stays in the "Self-Test Initializing..." mode
forever. Also, several of the horizontal raster lines on the LCD display
are out. I'm going to repair the cable and see if this changes anything.
If anyone has a service manual or a half-broken Network ScanJet 5 they'd
like to get rid of then let me know.
