Why a single purpose scanner when for a little more your can scan, print 
on paper/photo, and fax? Why USB? HP and others have all-in-one wireless 
devices with document feed for scanning multiple pages or can be used as 
a flatbed. My HP all-in-one supports 1200 dpi scans, do you really need 
more or is it an issue with the size of the scan bed?
