Hi,

the problem is, that the ColorPage-Vivid III+V2 is a parallel-port device
which is more or less supported by the kernel-mode module found on
my page: http://home.t-online.de/home/g-jaeger/plustek.html

It seems, that the Colorpage Vivid 3XE uses internally the same ASIC
as the III+V2 and additionally a parallel to USB brigde.
This stuff is not supported by the Plustek backend, as I do not have
any idea which bridge they use, nor do I have any technical reference
material from KYE.

So there's currently no way to use this scanner with the backend - sorry!
