Scanner with a document feeder. There is no way around scanning them. If you try to fax it, you are using the fax as a scanner. As you noticed, faxes shrink the original and put a header on it. The way around that one is to use Image Magick to remove the header (and footer) and to return the scanned document to original size. Work with graph paper initially to determine how much the fax machine is shrinking the pages, usually around 90% orignal size. Note that these kinds of problems have two basic solutions: 1) time 2) money You have to decide which is more valuable, and act accordingly: spend the money on a document feeder; spend the time on scanning each individually; spend the time on a fax -> tiff -> headerless&original_scale solution; or even to spend the money to have soemeone else do it for you. -john -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
