The `scanimage` command-line tool is a bit broken. It does not recognize all of the options that it claims in its help page. For example scanimage --help gives an error about an unrecognized option, and then it prints help where --help is clearly listed as an option. Each scanner has options that are specific to it (or the SANE driver that talks to it). You can liste the device specific options simply by having scanimage display help. The scanner must be turned on and connected.
scanimage -h
a simple scan
The default output format is Net PBM (pnm extension).
scanimage --mode=color --resolution=300 --depth=14 > foo.pnm
