There not much difference if you don't want to use the ADF. The
automatic incrementing also works without ADF. You must just press
"Start" for every page...

I don't know how this works with Windows, but you could use a script
like this (untested, without any error checking):

#!/bin/sh
# One argument: the name of the resulting multipage image (without the .tiff)
mkdir /tmp/$1
cd /tmp/$1
xsane --save --force-filename page-0001.tiff devicename
convert page-*.tiff $1.tiff

Bye,
