Multi-stream Scanning

Some scanners come with a feature called "multi-stream" or "dual-stream". This feature allows you to scan a page once, but retrieve multiple versions of the scanned page (e.g., colored and grayscale). To use this feature, you must set the scanner to the required mode and acquire the scanned page sequentially using the ImageGear .NET Web API.

If there is a single page in the scanner, the scanner is set to "multi-stream" mode and is expected to send a colored and a grayscale image; you can get both images by executing the following:
