For scanimage it works for me:
export SANE_DEFAULT_DEVICE="mustek:/dev/sg0"
scanimage -T (scanner starts to scan)
export SANE_DEFAULT_DEVICE="pnm:0"
scanimage -T
scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument
(--filename is missing, so it uses the pnm backend)

Another way would be to write a short shell script. For xscanimage amd
pnm:0 e.g.:
#!/bin/sh
xscanimage pnm:0
