[sane-devel] Plustek OpticFilm 7400 minor issues

[sane-devel at symme.link]

Ah, cool! Will do. And in the mean time, I'll see if I can make any
headway figuring these out on my own. (I'm not wildly unfamiliar with
C++ or low-level programming.)

Would you prefer a single issue encompassing the three issues below, or
three separate issues?

(p.s., I'm not sure of the preferred etiquette for this list; should I
direct replies "To" you and CC the list, or only To the list?)
