Ok. But I'll CC the mailing list again because I'm have not much clue
baout the specifics of the fujitsu backend itsself.

If you don't use other USB applications (e.g. a camera using gphoto2)
I don't think it's harmful.

You said xscanimage doesn't find your scanner but scanimage does. The
reason for such a behaviour is more than one SANE installation.

Now that's a completely different problem. Try scanimage and use the
options for batch-scanning (see manpage).

Maybe xsane's batch-scanning options also work here. But I'm
speculating, the fujitsu backend maintainers should have more details.
