Well, if you have a multi-function machine with a paper feeder, most will scan the pages through the paper feeder, including multiple pages. You will probably need to find something similar to that if you were still looking for a standalone scanner. Something like this:

It won't really save the files automatically, but it will transfer the files to the computer for you to save, and then you can start the next series of scans. How many pages are we talking about, and what are the business's printing, copying needs?
