All I know so far is that the scanner does not seem to respond to
commands as the older EPSON scanners do: The backends sends a reset
commands which should result in an ack return code (or an error
message from the scanner), and the scanner does not answer. 

I don't have access to the actual device, so I can not create any
traces.
