[sane-devel] Good ADF Scanner for Linux/SANE?

[m. allan noah]

i am happy with fujitsu fi-4120C my company uses lots of them. scsi and 
usb, (scsi is more reliable, usb a little flaky sometimes). great paper 
handling, pretty quick, heavy and small. we scanned 67,000 sheets last 
year on 20 of them. occasional paper jams with really bad sheets, but 
other than that, no breakdowns. dropped one on the floor from 3 feet up 
once. put a nice dent in the wood floor, scanner works perfectly.

about 780 bucks new, about 550-600 refurb. other folks like the bigger 
fujitsus, but i cant justify the price. the smaller fujitsus are generally 
flimsy, and many dont work with sane.
