    StopFeeder() Method (Device)
    In This Topic
    Sends the stop document feeder command to the device (document feeder will not be stopped right after execution of this method).

    Exceptions
    ExceptionDescription
    Thrown if the .NET debugger is used and the function evaluation requires all threads to run.
    Thrown if device is not transferring images OR device does not support AutoScan capability.
    Example

    This C#/VB.NET code shows how to pause the image acquisition from feeder (stop the feeder) and resume the image acquisition from feeder.
