If you are willing to forgo the flatbed, the Fujitsu fi-6130Z fits the bill. It's a very good scanner with complete support from SANE by yours truly. Selectable background color, an excellent anti-jam system, ultrasonic multifeed detection, etc.
You can find it for a lower price if you shop around. If you want to save some money, a used scanner (or its predecessor, the fi-6130) can often be found on ebay. A used scanner would also allow you to move up to the flatbed-enabled fi-6230. In the interest of full disclosure, I did some contract work for Fujitsu in the past, where they paid me to improve SANE support for their scanners. allan On Sun, Mar 31, 2013 at 3:53 PM, Brian DeRocher <brian at derocher.org> wrote: > Hi, > > Can i get a few suggestions for well supported document scanners.
