Unfortunately, some Mustek scanners require the gamma table to be sent
before the start_scan() call, while others need it afterwards. If the
MFS-12000SP can't tolerate the the gamma table before start_scan(),
then we should omit it only for those versions that don't tolerate it.
Do you know whether the gamma problems exist with firmware version
v1.02 only or whether it exists for all MFS-12000SP versions?
