depends entirely on how much you want to spend. i have been playing with the fujitsu fi-4120c for awhile. it still has some issues in the sane drivers that i have not been able to fix, mostly cause the firmware seems a little flaky and i dont have much time. but, i have just gotten the fi-5110C and fi-4120C2 (replacement for the C) and they seem much better about firmware issues. all three of these are top-down feed, pulling the bottom-most sheet first. they do jam occasionally, depending on two things- quality of paper (rough cut, static, dampness, shared wrinkles) and operator care (setting paper guides too loose or tight, not fanning stack, leaving lower edge square instead of tapered). i need to spend some time with sane driver on these... other scanners suggested to me often include the HP office-jet all-in-one series, it appears that they are better designed than HP adf scanners. allan -- "so don't tell us it can't be done, putting down what you don't know. money isn't our god, integrity will free our souls" - Max Cavalera
