I have the same problem in VueScan 7.0.22 with this scanner. I
found the problem, and the same fix will work with SANE. The
problem is that in the stop_scan routine in microtek.c, the 0x1b
command can fail when the scanner is moving the scan head
back to the origin. This command needs to be retried for up
to 30 seconds if it fails.
It's fixed in VueScan 7.0.23, which I'll release in a day or
two on www.hamrick.com.
