I know people with 25 foot parallel cables. Can't you put the scanner up top 
and the embosser on the bottom? I had the same problem so did that, but then 
found I wasn't using the embosser enough to make it worth while so put it in 
the closet. I've probably used it twice since it was given to me 2 years 
ago. That's on my list of things that when I move out of here I'll get rid 
of since I have no room and don't use it anyway. But, anyway, can't you 
reverse them? My scanner hangs off my top shelf a bit but not enough that I 
have to worry about it falling or anything. If my desk wasn't so close to 
the door, I could put the scanner sideways up there and it would fit great 
but with the door opening and closing all the time, it would just catch the 
front of the scanner.
