Here goes:

The device supports WiFi access, but I only use a local USB interface

This is what the Prieview window frame shows:
	"Preview Canon PIXMA TS6400 Series:04A918D3_01D66D"
and the interpretation is: idVendor idProduct _ iSerial

This is what the xsane window shows:
	Flatbed (just this option)
	Color	(Color, Gray, Lineart)
	Full color range (only for Color and Gray, 10 different entries)
	Resolutions (75, 150, 30, 600, 1200)

Of these I have scanned the following:
	Color: Full color range only, all resolutions
	Gray:  Full color range only, all resolutions
	Lineart: resolutions 150, 30, 600, 1200
		 resolution 75 reports operation canceled
I am no expert at this stuff, so it is hard for me to say if what
Lineart produces is what I should expect (the images look like the
preview though).

Hope this help, let me know if you would like more, AG
