I mean, by my understanding a frame could be also only RED, or GREEN or
BLUE and
in this case I need to create an image of this composition.

I have just ignored it as I am using modern scanners.

I took a peek at jfreesane project and converted it in the Java side, but I
have noticed
that all the code is on scanimage.c. Would be nice if there is a sane api
to get an image
in a specific format instead of a "raw" one.

I will follow up on that. Tried the software on an iPad but with no success
(I don't own any other mac device). Will try VueScan.
I have also contacted the company that provides the hardware for us, maybe
they can help.
