Scaning multiple pages using WIA on windows 7

I am trying to scan a few pages from the feeder, although the scanner automatically scans all the pages when I call ShowTransfer function (without using a loop), I am getting back only the first page.

what am I doing wrong?

here's my code:

  WIA.Item item = device.Items[1] as WIA.Item;

            if (pages > 1)
            {
                // Set to feeder
                SetWIAProperty(device.Properties, 44, 1);
            }

            SetWIAProperty(device.Properties, WIA_DEVICE_PROPERTY_PAGES_ID, 1);

            AdjustScannerSettings(item, 150, 0, 0, 1250, 1700, 0, 0, 1);
            try
            {

                // scan image
                WIA.ICommonDialog wiaCommonDialog = new WIA.CommonDialog();
                WIA.ImageFile image = (WIA.ImageFile)wiaCommonDialog.ShowTransfer(item, wiaFormatBMP, false);

                // save to temp file
                string fileName = Path.GetTempFileName();
                File.Delete(fileName);
                image.SaveFile(fileName);
                image = null;
                // add file to output list
                images.Add(Image.FromFile(fileName));
            }
            catch (Exception exc)
            {
                throw exc;
            }

I think this link is doing what you want to do

Basically, you need to check after saving off each page to see if there are more pages and keep looping

                hasMorePages = false; //assume there are no more pages
                if (documentHandlingSelect != null)
                    //may not exist on flatbed scanner but required for feeder
                {
                    //check for document feeder
                    if ((Convert.ToUInt32(documentHandlingSelect.get_Value()) & WIA_DPS_DOCUMENT_HANDLING_SELECT.FEEDER) != 0)
                    {
                        hasMorePages = ((Convert.ToUInt32(documentHandlingStatus.get_Value()) & WIA_DPS_DOCUMENT_HANDLING_STATUS.FEED_READY) != 0);
                    }
                }
