<EM>&gt; &gt; Attached are two patches for scanimage and its man page to add in a
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; collection of useful command line parameters to ease scanning of documents
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; on scanners with ADFs.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; There is a command-line-frontend named &quot;scanadf&quot; that's especially for
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; ADF scanners. I don't remeber its feature but probably at least some
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; of your changes are already included. I think it's better to include
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; your changes (if necessary) to this frontend. However, I will put an
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; entry into our TODO list about your additions os maybe we include them
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; in sane-backends 1.0.6.
</EM><BR>
<P>As far as the features are concerned, it doesn't add anything that
<BR>
scanimage doesn't already do except for automatic script execution. It is
<BR>
needed for scanners that don't automatically invoke their document feeders
<BR>
when loaded, the HP 6xxx series is not like that.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; There is a website for scanadf, but I can't get a connection currently:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; <A HREF="http://www.martoneconsulting.com/sane-scanadf.html">http://www.martoneconsulting.com/sane-scanadf.html</A>
</EM><BR>
<P>According to that page, scanadf suport for HP scanners requires that you
<BR>
patch the driver on the backend to use its mechanism of ADF support.
<BR>
Implicitly a much more active form of ADF support.
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When invoked without the --scan-from-adf option,
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the scanner will still feed paper in from the feeder, but
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the out-of-paper condition will never be detected and
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;scanadf will run forever, repeatedly scanning the
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;empty bed when there is no more paper.
<BR>
<P>That is the exact problem that my patch addresses. Furthermore, the
<BR>
scanadf home page hasn't been updated since August of 1999.
<BR>
<P>Please note that my patch doesn't add support for ADFs, it merely rounds
<BR>
out the rather lame batch support in scanimage(*) that is already present
<BR>
by allowing you to control the numbering of the filenames that come out.
<BR>
If you would rather I not place them in scanimage but in another tool
<BR>
please say so.
<BR>
<P>In the meanwhile, those that wish to access my patches can retrieve them
<BR>
from my home page.

<BR>
<P>(*) - The batch support in scanimage currently just loops until the status
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;code changes.
