Flat bed scanners are not too bad but will not have document feeders
for a cheap price.
You do not state that you would need a document feeder or not.
When you start looking at printers and scanners that have document
feeders, and duplex functionality, they start getting expensive.
I personally prefer single function devices. When they go wrong you
just replace the part.
With a multifunction device, and the ink stops working on one of the
colours (and replacing the cartridge does not fix it) , you might as
well purchase the whole new device again.
