Hi Chris! I'm also using an Epson Perfection 1200 with the ADF option for several years for pretty the same purpose as you do. I am satisfied with its performance, only a hissing noise when it's idle is a little bit disturbing... (-; If you're going to purchase one if its sucessors and are inter

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 ab

I've been using an Epson Perfection 1640 with sane for a while. It has a document feeder although it gets stuck occasionally, so probably isn't suitable for very high volume scanning. I think it was in the $300 range. On Thu, 15 Jan 2004, Christopher Marshall wrote: > Can anyone recommend a

my company does something similar to what you describe. we started out using scanimage called from a perl script to scan individual pages. but, we needed to monitor the status of various sensors and buttons in the hardware, which sane does not give access to. so now, we dont use sane, but for y

That sounds perfect! As for high volume, I don't need that high. If I had a good shot at scanning 20 pages at a time, I'd be willing to spend $300 to get that capability. Thanks for the steer. So, how does sane-epson handle document feeding? If I invoke scanimage, would it feed one page, sca

Can anyone recommend a scanner that works with sane and has a document feeder? Assuming there is such a scanner... I would like to be able to invoke scanimage so that it loads a new page, scans it, and exits. With that, it is a simple matter to write scripts to handle the naming of each separa

[sane-devel] Scanners with Document Feeders

Hi all: My project includes scanning multiple page documents. I want to do this with a doc feeder. 1. Are there any recommendations on which model to buy? 2. If a model is recommended is someone using that model with the doc feeder? I have a Umax Astra 2400S with a doc feeder. I can get scanima
