Scanner with adf in Linux


I have an Epson Workforce 520 all in one that sane recognizes. If I tell sane ( via Simple Scan in Mint Linux ) to scan it scans only from the flatbed. I'm pretty lost here. I want to scan from the document feeder. Do I need to get another model? If so, which would work. I searched the sane hardware compatibility list, but it is not easy to determine if a scanner's ADF works from that list.

Thank You

P.S. I would have posted in the newbie forum, but I thought this was more appropriate.

Hello glenn69,

there is no information, that Epson supports Linux, at least for this device. I think that scanning with the document-feeder is such a special feature, that the normal Linux-programs like sane don't support it.

I don't have experience with Epson, but with Canon-multifunction-devices it is possible to use them standalone. Does your device support standalone scanning? and where do the scanned documents end up if you press the scanning-button?
