Probably SANE_DEFAULT_DEVICE. It's not necessary but this variable
preselects your scanner if you have more than one. See man scanimage
and man xscanimage.

If I understand the manual page (sane-umax_pp) correctly, this is only
true if you don't want to use the kernel ppdev driver.

What's your actual problem? Did you enable umax_pp in dll.conf? Did
you enter the correct port number in umax_pp.conf?

If your scanner still isn't found, the umax_pp developers may help you
better if you send the output of something like:

SANE_DEBUG_UMAX_PP=255 scanimage -L
