Back Two heads are better than one

Hewlett-Packard has unveiled a line of document scanners with "single pass duplex scanning." What this means, says the company, is that the scanners are equipped with two scan heads instead of one, as is the usual case. With two scan heads, both sides of the document can be scanned in a single pass, thereby doubling existing speeds.

The HP Scanjet 7800 is priced at Rs 49,990 plus taxes, the HPScanjet 8350 at Rs 54,990 plus taxes and the HP Scanjet 8390 at Rs 64,990 plus taxes, it says.
