If this works already, I'm not sure what you want changed in SANE ?<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; If you want a user interactive mode, the frontend does not need to</i><br>

<i>&gt; So if the user shall be able to say "next paper" that is not the idea</i><br>
<i>&gt; of ADF. I suggest to add an other scan source "Manual Document Feeder"</i><br>
<i>&gt; or something like that. But we do not need any well known options for</i><br>
<i>&gt; this because the frontend does not do anything automatically!</i><br>
<p>
Mmm. Well, the nice thing about the HP design is that I can write something<br>
to do this, totally automatically, and without behaviour I don't know<br>
about behind the scenes. I'd like this preserved, but it's fine if this<br>
works just when source == MANUAL or whatever.<br>
<p>
while (we've got some sheets left) {<br>
load another sheet<br>
quick-preview-scan<br>
auto-select scan area (just call lists) and brightness/ contrast<br>
high-resolution-scan &gt; file<br>
}<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; &gt; Also, Oliver: Does the Umax way give you separate scan data for each</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; sheet, or does the user/app have to cut it up post-scan?</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; You get one image per page!</i><br>
<i>&gt; You call SANE_START, the scanner loads the page and scans the selected area.</i><br>
<i>&gt; Second SANE_START produces next image.</i><br>
<p>
Does this mean that the UMAX can really load and unload pages, but you<br>
choose not to export this behaviour from the backend?<br>
<p>
Can I do this (below) with the design you have in mind?<br>
<p>
1. Put phone bill (35 sheets) into hopper, run Xsane<br>
2. Scan in first sheet, hand-tune brightness and scan area in Preview<br>
3. Do a final scan on that first sheet, check it for problems<br>
4. Tell Xsane "Scan all the remaining sheets with those settings"<br>
5. Go and have coffee<br>
<p>
ALSO: Can I do this *without* XSane, in a shell script or OCR program?<br>
<p>
Nick.<br>
