Duplex ADF scanner advice needed

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.scanner (More info?)

Look at the Fujitsu 4120c or 4120c2 sheetfed scanner. The latter is the
newer model and duplexes faster. I bought the 4120c and am happy with it.
Comes with Adobe Acrobat and reads duplex documents in one pass. The 4120c
is 25 pages per minute in duplex - The 4120c2 is supposed to be 25 ppm
simplex and 50 pages per minute in duplex. 50 page adf.

I also use Scansoft paperport 10 to manage the files and scan documents in
as pdf files.
