    <pre> We have covered this before, but you probably did not need to know.

    You can buy nearly two Fujitsu scanners with 1500 bucks. The HP scanners are a disgrace to their name. The best I can say about the HP Scanner line is that the company makes wonderful printers.

    The Fujitsus (we have 3 of them) scan quickly, a much quieter, and fully reliable. I've only seen one person on this list complain about service, usually I can get the answers online.
