I'm setting up a scanner for a small office. This scanner is destined to replace a fax machine and so must have and automatic document feeder capable of holding 50 sheets. It also needs to work with a linux system, so that's why I'm posting here on the SANE list.
Based on the info about supported devices on the SANE homepage, I purchased a used HP 7450C. This device appears to have most of what I need: good SANE support, 50 page ADF, and even working front panel buttons. However, now that I've tested this scanner, I've found a few issues. Chief among them is that this scanner goes to sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity, and it can't be woken up without a power cycle. I've been discussing this with the Avision backed developer Rene and he believes this is fixable. Thus this scanner might turn out to be a good solution. I thought it wouldn't hurt, though, to at least ask this list. Does anyone have any recommendations for a scanner with a 50 page ADF and good SANE support other than the HP 7450C? I don't see much else that looks promising on the SANE homepage except maybe one of the Agfa SnapScans? Thanks, P. -- Philip J. Hollenback Telemetry Investments [email protected]
