          I have tried several ways until I have executed scanimage --help.



          It gave me regular help, but then halted for few seconds and then gave additional commands for my specific printer.



          Scan mode:
          --resolution auto||75|150|300|600dpi [75]
          Sets the resolution of the scanned image.
          --mode auto|Color|Gray|Lineart [Color]
          Selects the scan mode (e.g., lineart, monochrome, or color).
          --source Flatbed|Automatic Document Feeder [Flatbed]
          Selects the scan source (such as a document-feeder). Set source before
          mode and resolution. Resets mode and resolution to auto values.
          --button-controlled[=(yes|no)] [no]
          When enabled, scan process will not start immediately. To proceed,
          press "SCAN" button (for MP150) or "COLOR" button (for other models).
          To cancel, press "GRAY" button.


          On first sight it did not seems to help, but then I have tried the option in a full name within quotation marks:



          scanimage --source "Automatic Document Feeder" --format tiff --batch=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)_p%04d.tiff  --resolution 150


          It worked.
