[sane-devel] SANE and duplex ADF

[mailinglisten at posteo.de]

Hi there,

more a general question, assume you have a duplex ADF capable device and
want to scan documents that are single sided, printed only on the front
side.

Now, scanning such a document both sides makes no sense, the back side
would be plain white, or empty, it should be skipped.

Can you make a duplex ADF device behave like a simplex ADF that scans
only one side of a sheet?

Can this be done with SANE (imagescan) or do you make such a setting
directly on your scanning device? Would be great to have such a choice
with imagescan, this lets you choose from case to case.

I may get an Epson XP-7100 which seems like a reasonably priced duplex
ADF device.

Thanks!
