The APF is just "ok" - jams often, but still way faster than laying out one to four at a time. MUCH more expensive than a standard flatbed, and if you've got a working A4 scanner, depending on how many "100s" you have, you might prefer doing it 4 at a time and cutting/cropping seperately. No idea on the 5530's linux compatibility, I used XP for that. My experiences with xsane a couple of years ago wasted several weeks of attempts with various scanners before I gave up scanning under linux... -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
