On the web I found scanbuttond which enables to run a script if a scanner button is pressed and it seems scanning under Linux is rather scriptable.

Ideally, I want to fill the ADF unit, press a button, receive a single PDF with all pages scanned duplex in a preset folder, and keep a path to that file in org-modes killring to place it as a link at the right place.

Thanks and happy new Year Torsten CC. Any recommendation on a well working scanner under Linux. At the moment my favorite is the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500. Seems to work out of the box and comes with a good performance. --047d7b162e09e2c6af04d227c73c Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi,
