Subject:Looking for a home document scanner From:"Rob Hudson" <caveatrob -at- gmail -dot- com> To:TECHWR-L <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Thu, 6 Sep 2007 15:07:17 -0500
Hi all,
I have a Brother MFC 440CN all-in-one that's got a nice 10-page ADF
(automatic document feeder). Bought it for a hundred bucks.
Now I've got the need to scan more and more documents and would like
to buy something with:
1) A bigger ADF. Twenty to fifty pages would be nice,
2) Duplexing feature. I hate to turn documents over and re-feed them
into the ADF.
3) Networking feature. I run my Brother on my home network and it's
nice to use my laptop to scan while I'm working on my desktop.
Can anyone recommend hardware (low cost the best) that meets at least
my first two criteria?
I figure there have to be other tech writers who do automated home scanning.
