Not really  !!!See instructions:   https://files.support.epson.com/pdf/gt1500/gt1500ug.pdfDouble-sided ScanningYou can scan a 2-sided document using the ADF. First you scan the odd-numbered pages, then you turn the document over and scan the even-numbered pages. Then you can use the Editing Page window to automatically sort the pages¬The following steps are for double-sided scanning in Office Mode¬Place the first page of your document in the ADF.

Question 2

Does this work with Linux? (Obviously the Epson software won't but will the scanner?)

Accepted Answer

Before you buy, get someone who knows for sure, but if your version of Linux supports USB and you can install generic drivers, I imagine so. However, I don't know if the special functions will work, such as using the sheet fed scanning.

Question 3

does this scan negative photo?

Accepted Answer

Sorry I Can not tell you as I have not used this enough because I Hate the Software that it comes with.To me they cobbled together Epson and Paperport. There is a manual online that might tell you.
