Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Can the flatbed scan legal-sized sheets out of the box?
  Yes. Unlike common consumer scanners limited to basic letter sizing, the HP Scanjet N8420 features an elongated 14 in. flatbed glass surface to accommodate full legal-sized documents right on the main screen bed.
• Does this scanner feature one-pass double-sided scanning?
  Yes. The HP Scanjet N8420 features hardware-based duplex scanning, capturing both sides of a page simultaneously to save time during high-volume document runs.
• How do I deploy this legacy scanner on modern operating systems?
  Because official native driver packages are no longer actively produced by the manufacturer for modern operating platforms, you can perfectly operate this high-resolution hardware using popular third-party universal software tools like VueScan.
