I just tried gscan2pdf. It does not offer auto-feed either; black borders still persist (so it must be an issue with Brother driver. In addition, I've noticed big difference is scan size of an image. Small receipt size: ~4in x 3in saved as pdf B/W in 200dpi resolution: gscan2pdf produced file size: 66.7kB xsane produce file size: 12.4kB So in file size perspective xsane produced much smaller size. gscan2pdf provide crop tool to cut the borders, xsane does not have any crop tools. -- Thelma
