At a minimum, you'll need a click to open the scan dialogue, another to start the scan process, and a third to save the resulting scan(s). Regards Jeff (the author) Sorry, I lost the priginal thread so this is in response to the OP: scanimage will do it with the --batch option, so with a little scripting you can get what you need. There is also scanadf which is specifically for adf scanners. Also, the Sane API is very easy to unserstand, and has many interfaces to medium to high-level languages such as Perl. So, with a minimum effort you can cook up your own interface to the scanner. ADF scanners usually have butons to start scanning, and the Sane driver will usually expose them as options, so you have to poll the buttons and you could even do all your automation directly from the scanner button. Hope this helps. Alejandro Imass

[sane-devel] Scanning multipage documents with an ADF
Hi there, I know this is a support question, not a developer question, but the support forum seems to be full of spammers rather than real people... I'm trying to work out how i can do multi-page scans to a single PDF document in one click with my HP MFP device (an OfficeJet Pro L7350), and i've had no luck so far. If i choose the multipage tool in xsane i need to press the scan button for each page, so that's not a good solution, since i have hundreds of pages that i need to scan (most are documents of 10 pages or less). If i use the save tool, set the number of pages to scan to (say) 99, and then scan a 15 page document, it creates a separate PDF document for every single page. What am i doing wrong? I'm using xsane version 0.996-2ubuntu1.1 on Ubuntu Linux 9.10 (karmic) 64-bit. Thanks in advance, Paul
