Good, you already have two of the three required values.

Run scanimage with

  SANE_DEBUG_PIEUSB=14 scanimage

Look for this line in the output:

  [pieusb] INQUIRY:

followed by something like

  [pieusb] vendor........................: 'PIE'
  [pieusb] product.......................: 'SF Scanner'
  [pieusb] model  .......................: 0x0036
  [pieusb] version.......................: '1.70'

Now edit pieusb.conf and add a line with

usb 0x05e3 0x0144 0x36 0x00

(vendor, product, model, 0x00)

and run scanimage again.

If scanning works in general, change the trailing 0x00 in pieusb.conf
with 0x01. This enables automatic slide transport.

Good luck ! ;-)
