	Hello,

	this scanner appears to be supported by the avision backend. I think your 
scans may be affected 'warming up'. When the lamp isn't warm enough, light is 
varying, so scanned data is different other time. This fools shading 
calibration. When the lamp is stable, shading works better.

Regards,
