Again. Don't know about these. But the scanner from.the HP all-in-1s are quite reliable. Can easily put in multi-page documents through the sheet feeder. (20 pages in 1 go isn't a problem) |

|

Getting the pages in the correct order when they are double sided takes some work, but isn't a big problem using command line tools to edit PDFs. |
