--- Comment #4 from Tobias Leupold <t...@l3u.de> ---
My coding skills are quite limited, but of course, I'll help if I can :-)

I didn't dive into the sources too much yet. The question is where this could
or should be fixed preferably. Where does the "Automatic Document Feeder"
string come from? Is this something SANE decides, or does it come directly from
the backend? Libksane simply gets it from SANE, doesn't it?

The brscan backend is proprietary, this is right. I fear we're lost here. I can
try to find out if I can report this somewhere, but I wouldn't rely on this.

Well, after all, the scanner does arguably have an ADF, with the limitation
that it can only feed one document at a time automatically.

I only thought that having an additional "only one scan at a time" option for
devices with an ADF would possibly be a benefit for everbybody not wanting to
trigger batch scans, even if multiple documents are provided by the ADF.

So, leaving Brother's upstream out: We can blacklist this very device or add an
option. If you want, I can try to add it and create a PR if I succeed. What
option would you prefer? As said, I think that an additional option would
possibly be a benefit for all ADF devices (and when set to true, the current
behavior also would remain unchanged).

Also, I think that for devices with only one "source" option, this option
should not be exposed, as it can't be changed anyway. What do you think?

I'll see how far I can get ;-)
