Thanks robert. I tested using your recommendation scanimage.
$ scanimage > test.pbm --> looks like scanning ok. However, to test the multipage feeder scanning, I used the following command : $ scanimage --batch >test_batch.pbm Scanning -1 pages, incrementing by 1, numbering from 1 Scanning page 1 Scanned page 1. (scanner status = 5) Scanning page 2 Scanned page 2. (scanner status = 5) Scanning page 3 Scanned page 3. (scanner status = 5) Scanning page 4 Scanned page 4. (scanner status = 5) Scanning page 5 Scanned page 5. (scanner status = 5) Scanning page 6 Scanned page 6. (scanner status = 5) Scanning page 7 ^Cscanimage: received signal 2 scanimage: trying to stop scanner It scanned ok multiple pages. in both cases (single page or multipage), it outputs scanned image files so it is scanning ok both single pages or multiple pages via the feeder when using scanimage.
