I’ve been using a PlusTek large-format scanner and while it’s nice to scan 2 pages at a time, I’m at the point where I need to get something I can put a ton of pages in and let it do its thing. I’m trying to keep it under $500. The big snag I hit is that the one that sounded perfect says it only scans documents up to 14" long.

I don’t need anything super-duper fancy or fast. Preferably a duplex scanner. Just something reliable that can do a minimum of 300 dpi. Ideally, it would also be capable of making 2 images per “page” to save me from having to manually go in and split every single image.

I saw a couple when I searched the older posts, but the ones that interested me aren’t sold new anymore and I have bad luck with used electronics.
