According to the file PROJECTS in the SANE distribution:

Backend: Status: Contact: available hw:
-------- ------- ---------------------------------------- -------------
UMAX planned Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@redhat.com> ???

So the answer is: no, SANE does not currently support UMAX scanners.
However, there is standalone package that was written by Michael that
supports UMAX scanners (though I don't know whether it covers your
particular scanner and I'm afraid I don't remember what the name of
the package is; Michael, maybe you can help out?). Also, I think
Michael said that UMAX made the programming documentation available in
PDF format so if you're interested in helping with a SANE backend for
UMAX, that should be possible.
