Having trouble wading through documentation for SANE software.

I installed the Officejet, and can print OK.

I installed the basic SANE software, and it recognizes the scanner.

I am looking for basic scanning, using sheet feed.  KISS is fine, just 
something to sit and read every document put into the sheet feeder, 
naming them sequentially (I can rename them later and/or figure out how 
to put them into a database, or link them from a spreadsheet).

I guess I also need to set the bits per inch, color density, etc. in 
order to do this.  I am scanning handwritten sheets with notes, some 
original, some photocopies.

Long term, it would be nice to accept faxes in the same way, assuming 
that is even possible.

Here is what shows from looking for the device:

Hewlett-Packard Officejet_5600_series all-in-one
