=46rom specs of this scanner:

-------------
Automatic Length Detection
The 4097D automatically detects the end of a document as it passes through
the paper path. Perfect for eliminating the extra white space when
scanning mixed length batches of documents.

By the way, this is a nice scanner.. and I see them used on ebay for $3000
CDN ;)  You know, if you really just want a beer, I'd be willing to trade
for this scanner :D
