HP ScanJet Pro 3600 F1 | 20G06A (LWN)

Fast, Reliable, and Versatile Scanning for Professional Workflows
The HP ScanJet Pro 3600 f1 (model 20G06A) is a high-performance document scanner designed to streamline office productivity through efficient, high-speed, and high-accuracy scanning. Combining flatbed scanning with a robust automatic document feeder (ADF), this scanner meets the needs of businesses that require daily scanning of mixed document types. From multi-page contracts and invoices to ID cards and booklets, the HP ScanJet Pro 3600 f1 offers a perfect balance of power, reliability, and flexibility.

High-Speed Scanning for Demanding Workflows
At the heart of the HP ScanJet Pro 3600 f1 is its rapid scanning capability. The device can scan up to 30 pages per minute (ppm) and 60 images per minute (ipm) when using duplex mode via the ADF. This fast performance is critical in fast-paced business environments where time is a resource. The ADF supports single-pass duplex scanning, which means both sides of a document are scanned simultaneously, saving significant time and reducing wear and tear compared to dual-pass mechanisms.

With a daily duty cycle of up to 3,000 pages, the ScanJet Pro 3600 f1 is designed for continuous, reliable use. Whether you’re scanning large volumes of paper documents or a mix of paper types, the scanner is built to maintain consistent speed and accuracy.

Versatile Document Handling with Flatbed and ADF
The HP ScanJet Pro 3600 f1 (model 20G06A) scanner is equipped with both an automatic document feeder (ADF) and a flatbed scanner, giving users the flexibility to scan a wide range of documents. The 60-sheet ADF can handle standard office paper, double-sided pages, and longer documents up to 122 inches in length. It is also compatible with various media types, including receipts, business cards, labels, and legal-sized sheets.

The flatbed is ideal for fragile documents, thick materials like ID cards and passports, bound items like books, or any document that requires precise positioning. The flatbed supports a resolution of up to 1200 dpi, delivering detailed and sharp image quality, especially useful for images, text-heavy pages, and archival scanning.

Advanced Image Processing and Accuracy
The HP ScanJet Pro 3600 f1 integrates powerful image enhancement features designed to ensure high-quality output with minimal user intervention. These include auto-crop, auto-orientation, background cleaning, color drop-out, blank page removal, and edge cleanup. These features improve OCR (Optical Character Recognition) accuracy and ensure that scanned files are clean, professional, and ready for digital archiving or sharing.

The scanner offers 48-bit internal color depth and 24-bit external color, which ensures accurate color reproduction, whether scanning in full color, grayscale, or black-and-white.

Smart Software and Workflow Integration
HP includes robust software support with the ScanJet Pro 3600 f1, including the HP Scan Pro software suite. This allows users to create customized scan profiles and send scans directly to destinations such as email, folders, cloud storage, USB drives, and network locations. It supports multiple file formats including PDF, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, Word, Excel, and searchable PDFs.

The scanner supports TWAIN, ISIS, WIA, and ICA drivers, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of third-party document management systems and imaging software. Whether you’re working on a Windows, macOS, or Linux environment, integration is seamless.

For document-heavy departments such as finance, legal, or HR, features like zonal OCR, barcode separation, and multi-feed detection help automate processes and ensure document integrity.

Reliable Security and Sustainability
Security is embedded at the firmware level with firmware signature validation, ensuring only authentic HP firmware is loaded and helping to prevent potential security threats. For industries with compliance requirements, this provides reassurance that sensitive data is handled safely and that the device is secure from tampering or malware.
