Thanks for the answer. I will follow your advice.

Looking for a similar scanner available in Poland I've found Fujitsu
FI-5110C and FI-6130.

Both FI-5110C 

     http://www.fujitsu.com/global/services/computing/peripheral/scanners/product/fi5110c/

and FI-6130 

    http://www.fujitsu.com/global/services/computing/peripheral/scanners/product/fi6130/

are supported by the CVS version of SANE in the "complete" way. What
does it means in practise?

According to the producer, FI-6130 is not only faster then FI-5110C,
but has also a lot of additional features. Are these features
accessible from Linux or provided by MS Windows drivers and software?

I will appreciate very much your comments and suggestions.

Best regards

Janusz
