    Hi,

    Sorry for a long delay. I only have remote access to the acanner at the
    moment, therefore I can not test it too much (the machine at the other end
    freezes).

    I suspect this happens only when I use 'xscanimage', and as you said, it
    freezes time-to-time. Sometimes on the first scan, sometimes on the second.
    I belive the scanner is left in some kind of weird (open?) state.
     
    I will have a chance to muck with the scanner the upcoming Sunday, so I
    will email you an updated information then.

    Thank you,
    Boris
