These are great for cranking through big stacks of paper, but watch
out for the presets.  Some (like the older Xerox I used to use at
work) would scan to "TIFF"...which was really a JPG-compressed image
in a TIFF wrapper.  So even my 600dpi bilevel scans would have
compression artifacts.

All manufacturers are different, YMMV, etc.  Just something I got
burned on and worth watching out for.
