Hi Khalid,<br><br>We use an HP3030 monochrome laser. It's old now (5 years) and so you'd have to choose a newer version<br><br>It has a page feeder for scanning/faxing and it works with xsane. You would choose "multipage" and create a "project" to scan into. <br><br>The flaws are sometimes it jams or pulls two pages at once and if the pages are double sided it means flipping the pages manually. I scan all pages one sided flip and scan. Xsane allows re ordering pages so I reorder after the fact. <br><br></font></p>

Time to replace the inkjet that died, and considering a laser multifunction.<br><br>The old one was HP and had superb support in Linux (Ubuntu). <br>Xane worked well.<br><br>One annoying thing is that the old multifunction did not have a sheet feeder,<br>
so scanning documents that are composed of more than 2 pages is a big<br>waste of time. <br><br>Under Windows, the multifunctions have a resident program that feeds<br>and scans a stack of pages and outputs a PDF.<br><br>
Is there a equivalent thing under Linux (scanning a stack of paper by feeding<br>them one after the other automatically, and outputing a PDF)?<br>Which good laser multifunctions make/model supports this?<br clear="all"><br>
