I prepared a helper script that does the duplex scan emulation...
I didn't find a satisfying way to merge this functionality with the sane-scan-pdf tool, so for now it's a separate script.

How to use the script:

  1. scan all the A pages (ex. output file pages_A.pdf)
  2. scan all the B pages (ex. output file pages_B.pdf)
  3. run the helper tool:
./emulate_duplex_scan.sh pages_A.pdf pages_B.pdf all_pagesduplex_scan.pdf

emulate_duplex_scan.sh content:
emulate_duplex_scan.txt

I have the same printer though I never use the flat bed for scanning. But I can try to play around with it.

Let me understand your use case though... You want to scan duplex, ideally via the ADF but manually if necessary?

I want to scan duplex manually using 'flat bed'. If you try this out on Windows using Brother Control Centre software you would see that it is possible. I was wondering if that is possible in linux.

After posting the above i came across this patch. With this i am now able to duplex scan using ADF. This has reduced the urgency quite a bit.

Does your script support manual duplex with 'ADF' since the brother does not support automatic duplex? It would require scanning odd/even pages separately and then merging them.

It doesn't support that currently, but it wouldn't be too difficult to add.

Hmm, the downside of this is that the script becomes "interactive" to some extent, because it has to scan the first set of pages, and then the second.

It would probably make sense for this to be a wrapper around the usual scan script, which would simply use pdfseparate and pdfunite to re-order the pages.

I'll take a PR for that functionality but probably won't build it myself.

@maciex Nice! Do you want to submit that as a PR to the repo? You could update the README as well.

@rocketraman If you find it is worth including in the repo then sure, I'll prepare a PR soon.
