[sane-devel] has feeder loaded

[Oliver Schirrmeister]

The fujitsu backend offers a SOFT_DETECT, HARD_SELECT option 'startbutton'
to query button1. The same thing could be done with 'paper in hopper' or else.
But these options should have the same name for all backends. Is there such
a known name or other interface?
