Indeed, the model and the firmware line were missing. Whats more, all other 
usb lines were  still active. Now I commented them out so only the plustek 
2400+ data are active in the file. However, this did not change the result. 
Now I get a random color pixel image when I scan via xsane and select full 
color.
