I am clicking "Scan", while "Single page" is selected. A bit more
explanation should explain why this is the correct thing to do despite
the fact that I expect multiple pages.

So here's exactly what happens:

1. I click Scan, with "Single page" selected.

2. The scanner driver puts up a dialog with a code to type into the
networked scanner.

3. I put my sheet to scan in the scanner on the plate, and enter the
code given by the scanner driver. N.B. This is why I didn't select "All
pages from feeder": I'm not using the feeder. (As you've noticed, I've
filed a separate bug #815856 for using the ADF, which doesn't work
either.)

4. The page is scanned.

5. The scanner says (on its built-in display): "Scan another page?"

6. I press the key for "yes", and put another sheet in.

7. I repeat steps 4-6 until I've done all the pages.

8. I press the key for "no".

9. Meanwhile, the computer is showing all the page data being received
in the scanner driver's dialog.

10. Only the last page is actually displayed in simple-scan.

I could have simply scanned one page repeatedly, pressing "No" after
each one, but that takes a long time, as between each one I have to walk
between the computer & scanner, I have to wait for the scanner driver to
put up a fresh dialog, and I have to type a code into the networked
scanner. It takes about 60-90s per page, as compared to about 10s if I
can scan them all in the same job.

In xsane I use "multiple pages" mode, and it works without using ADF
mode.

Title:
  Extra pages sent by scanner are discarded

Status in Simple Scan:
  Incomplete
Status in “simple-scan” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: simple-scan

  If I press Scan in simple-scan, then scan multiple pages on my scanner
  (in this case, a Lexmark X543dn), then only the first page appears in
  simple-scan. I can of course press Scan again to scan the next page,
  but with a network scanner this is tedious, as I have to enter a code
  on the scanner for every page, rather than just telling it to scan
  another page, or feeding a multi-page document into it.
