You can scan double-sided documents with an ADF. A duplex scanner 
will manage this automatically. For non-duplex scanners, select Scan 
double-sided pages in the Scanner panel of the Options dialog box. Then 
you can scan the document in just a few passes, with even pages grouped 
together and odd pages also grouped. OmniPage Pro will merge the pages 
for you.

Using OmniPage’s scanner interface, you can scan multi-page documents 
efficiently from a flatbed scanner, even without an ADF. Select 
Automatically scan pages in the Scanner panel of the Options dialog box, 
and define a pause value in seconds. Then the scanner will make scanning 
passes automatically, pausing between each scan by the defined number 
of seconds, giving you time to place the next page. A dialog box allows 
you finish the pause early or request a longer pause and to specify when 
the last page is scanned.

To scan books two pages at a time, select Look for facing pages in the 
Process panel of the Options dialog box. The program will split the 
incoming images into two pages and deskew them independently.

Before starting recognition you are requested to describe the layout of the 
incoming pages to assist the auto-zoning process. When you do 
automatic processing, auto-zoning always runs unless you specify a 
template that does not contain a process zone or background. When you 
do manual processing, auto-zoning sometimes runs. See online Help: 
When does auto-zoning run? Here are your input description choices:

Automatic
Choose this to let the program make all auto-zoning decisions. It decides 
whether text is in columns or not, whether an item is a graphic or text to 
be recognized and whether to place tables or not. Choose Automatic if 
your document contains pages with different or unknown layouts. 
Choose it for a page with multiple columns and a table, and for any pages 
with more than one table.
