Hello Ian,
SANE does have not implemented using a ADF by spezial commands, it should
work
as you descibe but only to scan _ONE_ page and not the whole stack.
1. ADF if avail and ready
2. Scan not using the ADF
I don't know about HP 6100C, but i think it will follow the same rules as any
HP scanner using a ADF.

The Problem about ADF are "frontend" dependent because the "frontend" calles
the "backend" to scan _ONE_ page, either from the ADF if ready or manual.
As for now and my knowledge there is no "sane_ADFReady" function implemented
!
But this ist necsessary to implement ADF function into a "frontend".
I and Peter Kirchgasser are working on a _NEW_ enhanced version of a HP
backend.
My intention is to implement ADF function in this backend.
If you are be able to compile it, you can download the source from
ftp://members.aol.com/pkirchg/pub/sane/sane-0.72.xhp.0.63.tar.gz
BTW: Please tell me your OS and Compiler/Lib.
