This is the beginning of the scanned image. Note that scanimage
procduces the image on standard output, so it's normally necessary to
redirect its output into a file. Something like this:
scanimage >out.pnm
Are you saying that nothing happens after the PNM header appears? If
so, the microtek backend may have a problem talking to your scanner.
To get more info, set environment variable SANE_DEBUG_MICROTEK to 256,
then invoke scanimage. This should make debugging easier.
