It is millimetres, but the data type is not integer, but fixed.

The option descriptor you get with sane_get_option_descriptor contains
the fields type and unit. In this case the type is SANE_TYPE_FIXED and
the unit is SANE_UNIT_MM. You have to check the option descriptor to
know how to interpret the values. Different backends can use different
types for the same option.

You can use the SANE_FIX and SANE_UNFIX macros to convert between double
and fixed values.
