What I mean is a standalone Printer and a standalone Scanner, both connected to a standard linux-based computer. The Printer can be any color-A3-laser and I only wanted to mention that in the context. The computer does everything like showing the touchscreen-gui, communicating with scanner and printer and conversion to pdf, sending per mail etc. So I don't think of a standalone combo device.
