>VueScan normally previews or scans a single frame at a time. If you want to

>There are two types of scanners that can do batch scanning: scanners that
>can randomly address individual images (like movable film holders or a
>flatbed set up for multiple frames in a grid) and scanners that can eject
>the current image and insert the next image (like the Nikon SF-200 slide
>feeder or the Epson Automatic Document Feeder). Both types of scanners can
>do batch scanning with the "Input|Batch scan" option.

>You can significantly speed up batch scanning on some scanners by setting
>two options so the preview won't be done when you do a scan. To do this, set
>the cropping for all the frames, then clear "Crop|Auto position". In
>addition, if the "Input|Lock exposure" option is displayed, turn it on and
>set "Input|RGB exposure" to either "1" or a value greater than one that
>won't overexpose any of the images.
>
>You can batch scan multiple photos, slides or film strips on a flatbed
>scanner if you lay them out in a rectangular grid and use the following
>procedure:
>
>
>*    Press the Preview button
>*    Set "Crop|More options" to "All"
>*    Set "Crop|Crop size" to the size of each image (don't use "Auto")
>*    Move the crop box to the top left image (hold the shift key)
>*    Set "Crop|X images" to the number of images across
>*    Set "Crop|Y images" to the number of images down
>*    Set "Crop|X spacing" to the distance between the left sides of two
>images
>*    Set "Crop|Y spacing" to the distance between the tops of two images
>
><<at this point, the appropriate option appears in the 'Input' tab>>
>
>*    Set "Input|Batch scan" to "All"
>*    Press the Scan button
>
>Hope this helps,
