I have a Panasonic KV-S3065C scanner with can scan double-sided anything 11.2" wide up to about 100" long

That is how I deal with most engineering drawings and listings.
I also have a blueprint sized scanner and a microfiche scanner, both currently off-line.

The main problem with listings is if the print is misaligned and cross the perf,
since they have to be burst to be scanned.
