If you don't have documentation for this scanner:
A lot of patience and persistence. Quite some time. Some coding
practice. The will to follow the SANE mailing list. The will to answer
questions from other users of this scanner. Did I mention patience and
persistence?

There is some information at sane-backends/doc/backend-writing.txt
(concerning coding style) and http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/develop.html
(concerning having no documentation).

Bye,
  Henning
