Maybe something like: scanimage --source "Automatic Document Feeder" --batch --batch-count 5 to scan five pages. > 3) xscanimage: > > # xscanimage -ANE > didn't work. Is this the correct syntax to scan from the ADF? The correct syntax is to run xscanimage without options, look for the option called "source" and select "Automatic Document Feeder" :-) > However I discovered that starting xscanimage (without options) and by > enlarging the X widget, a selection for scan source (like that in xsane) > became visible.

No. You must also use "--source "Automatic..." to select where you scan from. Bye, Henning
