Hi, BTW, just on that note, something that has bothered me is that the SANE API specification doesn't make the ADF multi-page scanning process super clear in terms of result codes, sequence etc. I will perhaps also review that section to see if additional detail could be added to make it more concrete.
Any changes I propose, I will offer them up here for review before updating the document.
