Thank you for your swift answer.  I forgot to mention that I need a
combined document feeder/flatbed-scanner, though, so that particular
model won't work, regrettably.  Can I ask how many seconds it takes,
approximately, to scan a color page?  (Manufacturers have an annoying
tendency to only specify some kind of theoretical max PPM instead of
expected average PPM at some reasonable setting.)
