"Apparently the scanimage program has batch scanning built in, so no scriping is required:
scanimage --format=tiff --batch=""/path/to/scanned_image-%d.tiff"" --batch-prompt

See the man page for more info.

""The --batch options provide the features for scanning documents using document feeders.""
""--batch [format] is used to specify the format of the filename that each page will be written to.""
""--batch-prompt will ask for pressing RETURN before scanning a page. This can be used for scanning multiple pages without an automatic document feeder."""
