1400 of my mother's old prints in 2 or 3 days, without even using the "carry
it around" feature. Set it up on a card table (flat, so the prints didn't
tend to shift when I closed it) and just kept putting in anywhere from two
to 6 at a time (they were all different sizes) and pushing the button while
watching TV. It took longer to separate the scans later in Photoshop.
(I didn't try to automate that part of the process.)

It worked great, except that there is an occasional problem with banding
with this scanner. HP tells me that running the self-test cures this, but
it doesn't. However, it may have something to do with noise pickup, because
it seems to be sensitive to scanner location.
