Scan with WIA Auto Feed Scanner not performed for second page

Question

I am trying to scan multiple pages using an auto-feeder scanner. My code is very simple at the moment:

WIA.CommonDialog dialog = new WIA.CommonDialog();
WIA.Device device = dialog.ShowSelectDevice(WIA.WiaDeviceType.ScannerDeviceType);
WIA.Items items = dialog.ShowSelectItems(device);
foreach (WIA.Item item in items)
{
    while (true)
    {
        try
        {
            WIA.ImageFile image = (WIA.ImageFile)dialog.ShowTransfer(item);
            if (image != null && image.FileData != null)
            {
                dynamic binaryData = image.FileData.get_BinaryData();
                if (binaryData is byte[])
                    using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(binaryData))
                    using (Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap)Bitmap.FromStream(stream))
                    {
                        bitmap.Save(@"C:\Temp\scan.jpg", ImageFormat.Jpeg);
                    }
            }
        }
        catch (COMException)
        {
            break;
        }
    }
}

I tried to request a property WIA_DPS_DOCUMENT_HANDLING_STATUSto see if there are any pages in the feeder, but it always returns 1, so instead I will catch a COM exception, if I get it WIA_ERROR_PAPER_EMPTY, I know that the document feeder is empty.

The problem is that this code only looks at the first page, when the method dialog.ShowTransferis called again, I get an exception and E_FAILHResult, and I can not scan more pages. Oddly enough, when I look at this code in the debugger, everything works fine, and all pages are scanned.

EDIT: . E_FAIL, , ( ). , , 10 , , , .
