Here I have :
Vendor: MUSTEK Model: MFS-12000SP Rev: 1.00
Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 01

This is probably due to a bad color-correction scheme. I added an alternate
scheme for my scanner which doesn't use backtracking, but sends R,G,B at
1/72" offset. The correction code influences particularly the start and
end of a complete SCSI Buffer. Please check out, if the following section
of code gets activated for you :
/* Revision 1.00 of the MFS-12000SP firmware is buggy and needs
this workaround. Maybe others need it too, but this one is
for sure. We know for certain that revision 1.02 or newer
has this bug fixed. */
if (fw_revision < 0x102)
dev->flags |= MUSTEK_FLAG_LD_MFS;
Then change it to be (de-)activated depending on what was the state before.
I suppose this should correct the problem. please report what happened, so
we can add auto-detection. MUSTEK should be shot for not counting up
Firmware-Revision ...

This shouldn't happen. Please check, if 10% are the case ;-)
The correction code which is the most probable cause, is only activated in
color mode.
