I'm talking about the device on some AIOs which pulls in sheets to scan for you, the idea being that you can tell it to scan a multi-page document without having to go through a tedious cycle of 'put one sheet in, scan it, take it out, put next sheet in', etc.
I do a fair bit of scanning because I scan in almost all of the paperwork I receive (that I need to keep), so if there are ways to speed up the work or make it less tedious, I'm interested in it.
When a scan is done from the ADF, is the saved result always A4? Or are clever things done like the 'auto sense content' type stuff that scanning software can do when scanning from glass (or is this implemented with the pre-scan only?).
Do ADFs handle custom-size sheets of paper reasonably well? Amazon for example sometimes does an A4 receipt or a weird size that's smaller than A5.
I realise that both of my questions are probably dependent on the implementation, but I would like to know peoples' experiences on this topic.
