Hello,

currently there is no special support for the ADF. It seems that the
backend inquires the imageable area when the paper is not loaded onto
the scanner. In that case the scanner does not know the size of the sheet
and reports a zero y-extent. Or if you try to specify the size, it would
exceed
the size that is known to the scanner and it will generate an error.
I will try to find a solution. But up to then I think you cant use the ADF.

Sincerely

Peter
