[sane-devel] scanners with document feeders

[John C. Vernaleo]

I just checked (since I usually use xsane instead of scanimage), but when 
I do:
scanimage --source "Automatic Document Feeder" > image.pnm
it scans one page from the feeder, then gives me the prompt back.

And 20 pages work fine in the feeder (the manual says more than that, but 
20 seems to be about the most I can put in without increasing the number 
of jams).  I have already scanned a few hundred pages of notes from old 
grad school classes I took with this scanner, and it (and sane, so thanks 
guys) has done a great job so far.
