I've had, and used, this scanner for quite a while now (probably about 2 years), both with SCSI and, more recently, USB connections. But I haven't needed the ADF for the past few months until this week. Apparently something I've done in the interim made it much more finnicky.
The symptom is this: when using scanimage to read in a batch of pages through the ADF, the scanner reads between 1 and 4 pages of the pile, then decides it's finished: Scanning -1 pages, incrementing by 1, numbering from 1 Scanning page 1 scanimage: scanning image of size 1016x1679 pixels at 1 bits/pixel scanimage: acquiring gray frame scanimage: read 213233 bytes in total Scanned page 1. (scanner status = 5) Scanning page 2 [epson] option: fatal error [epson] ADF: other error [epson] ADF: no paper scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument scanimage: read 0 bytes in total Scanned page 2. (scanner status = 4) even though there's more in the bin. Reissuing the command reads in another small number of pages, but never does it run through the entire document, which is what it used to do. Any suggestions will be most welcome.
