[blindlaw] bulk scanners

[Joe Orozco]

    My ignorance is going to show prominently, but can someone describe the 
characteristics of a duplex scanner?  Currently, I have a Cannon flatbed 
LiDe something or other.  I scan pages one at a time, rather slow, but this 
duplex business leads me to believe the scanner can feed paper through and 
scan both sides?  Thanks in advance for the clarification.

          Joe
