okay so the reason scanners had to be pieces of glass that you lay your document on flat was because of the construction of the original xerox-style copiers. the competing design is the fax-machine style that pulls the paper through. why aren't all desktop printer/scanners the fax machine style?????
who the hell thought having a hugeass lid and a heavy piece of glass inside a fucking printer that was cheaper than the cartridges i uses was a good idea? all that does is make me forget the last thing i scanned in there until i scan something again. printers should have a smaller footprint than A4.
also if it didn't have the fucking lid on top i could put stuff on top of it. it already is designed to pull paper through it. why is the world Like This? the most confusing part is, they had it figured out with fax machines? baffling. looking for print/scan-combos that work like fax machines now...
