	Hello,

	thanks for the confirmation. One quick test would be to add this device 
in genesys_device.c by cloning the G4050 entry, and add its USB id in 
genesys.conf.in, then compile and run to see what it gives. When doing 
development, I don't do 'make install' for a version I test, I use the 
appended script place in the backend subdirectory to run scanimage (or xsane). 
Read it and edit the line that fits the test you want to do. For instance to 
do a quick 'what if' test I would do a preview.
	In the long run, the usual source of data it to run it under windows and 
record USB activity with UsbSnoop. Then decode it to find how it should be run 
by the backend.

Regards,
	Stef
