You may take a look at HP 5590 model. Most of the basic functions are supported, and it has ADF unit (in my opinion, has low mechanical reliability). The model is still available, at least on HP.com. And HP7650 is also supported, which has improved scanning speed, but is more expensive. Anyway, I would consider them as the models for low volume scanning, otherwise I would prefer Fujitsu.
