I've spent most of the evening poking around in -questions, on the SANE web page, and reading through various chunks of kernel code - to quote U2, "I still haven't found what I'm looking for..." My boss has suddenly decided that she wants to scan a lot of our paperwork into the system... Don't need to worry about OCR at the current time, but I'l eventually (probably sooner than later) need to locate & read a 3-of-9 barcode off each page. She's been calling around to all of the local copier companies, and they've been more than happy to provide us with a "digital copier hooked up to an NT box" solution - yuck. I'm looking for a page scanner that meets the following: 1) Decent resolution. (at least 600x600) 2) Supported by FBSD / SANE 3) USB or SCSI 4) Able to hook >1 up to the computer & run several at the same time 5) Auto document feeder 6) Able to handle 800-1000 pages/day, divided by # of scanners Any ideas/experiences? I'd like to get two or three of whatever model I come up with, but most of the documentation I've found is rather cryptic as to what's supported... (Especially re: the ADF - almost nothing on these!) I wouldn't mind using the digital copier method if I can find one that doesn't require a Win box to talk to it. If I go this route, color capability is about 90% required, but that's negotiable. thanks - mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
