It means your scanner is not supported, but the genesys backend is the
best place to add support. Unfortunately, just adding the ID to the
config file is not enough, code would also need to be written.
Unfortunately, the genesys backend is effectively unmaintained. So,
unless you are able to reverse engineer the protocol and add your own
support, you might want to get a different scanner.
