ScanJet is a line of desktop flatbed and sheetfed image scanners originally sold by Hewlett-Packard (HP), later HP Inc., since 1987. It was the first commercially widespread image scanner on the market, as well as one of the first scanners aimed at the small office/home office market.[1][2] It was originally designed to compliment the company's LaserJet series of laser printers and allowed HP to compete in the burgeoning desktop publishing market of the early 1980s.
The grayscale-only ScanJet Plus, co-developed with Canon and released in 1989, was a massive commercial success and had a wide influence in scanner design. For almost a decade at the low end of the market, the ScanJet Plus was a de facto standard for the specifications of scanner hardware. Starting in 1991, models of ScanJet were released that could scan in full color.
Updates to the ScanJet line have been sporadic since the 2010s.[3]
