The backend which comes with the distributions does not yet recognize
this model. You can download a newer release from
ftp://ftp.muc.de/people/bernds/mtek2 .
However, be cautious. Some people with a Phantom 336cx (which is obviously
more or less the same like the Slimscan C3) have reported, that the
scanner has an offset at the beginning of a scan and then scans beyond the
bottom of the scan area, and the scanhead hits the bottom of the device.
So, keep your hand near the poweroff button, when you try it.

I am working on it, but do not know yet, when it will be readyi, and
will probably need some help, because I don't have such a model.
