--- Comment #3 from Kåre Särs <kare.s...@iki.fi> ---
I think this is a bug in the backend, if it is not an "Automatic Document
Feeder" it should not advertise itself as one.

My preferred solution would be to have the brother backend "fixed". Maybe it
should state only "Document feeder"?

Then again this is not a thing that is governed by the sane-standard and only
heuristics in libksane... :( 

Adding an option like you said is not impossible either, but a bit ugly
workaround for something that could be "fixed" in the backend... Then again
there might be code shared between multiple brother scanners and that would add
extra burden there...

You seem to have coding skills ;) maybe you want to help?
1) My first choice would be to ask brother to fix it.  Seems to be proprietary
:( 
2) Add a public API to libksane and use that in Skanlite.
....
3) A bit risky variant would be to "blacklist" ADF for that model 

Are you willing to do it?
