You need to tell scanimage what device you want to talk to _before_
specifying any device-specific options. In your case, something
like this should work:

scanimage -d mustek:0x36b --resolution 100

It's a bug that the SANE backend picks a default resolution of 18 dpi
when the smallest supported value is 51. A patch would be welcome.
