Ooops. Well, "sane-artec_eplus48u(5)" is probably the longest name of
a manpage in SANE, so it may be too long. On the other hand, with 80
columns it looks like this here:

sane-artec_eplus48u(5)   SANE Scanner Access Now Easy   sane-artec_eplus48u(5)

          1         2         3         4         5         6         7
01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789


Is your window smaller than 80 chars or maybe is the page layouted
differently?

man --version
man, Version 2.4.0, 07 September 2001

Anyway, if it's too long, just use only "SANE".

Bye,
  Henning
