Can SANE backend do this

Jon, 
 
The scanner/driver detected the feeder out of document too 
fast for me to do the Ctrl-C.  I think it perhaps working
for 
you because you scanner wait for the next intruction.  
However, the Fujitsu doesn't seem to do that. 
 
Here is what it looks like. 
 
[rootvoip scanOutput]# scanimage --batch --format=tiff 
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 
scanimage: sane_start: Document feeder out of documents 
 
 
Do you know the syntax to combine all individual scanned  
files into one either .tiff or pdf file?  
 
 
Thanks again

The Dell 1600n driver (currently) has no concept of "no
more documents" so 
I don't get this problem.

I have been quite happy with the ImageMagick
"convert" program.  However I 
recall a sane-devel thread the other day in which people
were less than 
impressed with it.  A browse through recent archives might
provide some 
suggestions for alternatives.

cheers,
Jon
