 Such a thing as auto feed scanner for home PC? - BobbyG
Think I asked this question a while ago but is there such a thing as an auto feed scanner for photos?

Sort of thing I could put a pack of photos into a feeder, hit a button, it scans them one at a time and the associated software does its bits on the computer?

We have a very hi-tech printer / scanner thingy at work but even that can't deal with autofeed standard size photos. Is there anything available for the home PC that would do the job?

Looking at the spec. for that machine the minimum paper size is 5.5 x 4.5 inches i.e. just a bit bigger than old school 5 x 3.5 or 5 x 4 photos. There's no mention of what range of paper weight it can hande, I'd certainly want to check it can cope with photo papers of 150gsm+

autofeed of photographs is very difficult, you stand a good chance of mangling a number of them in the feed mechanism.
