The results might be caused by poor (or no) CIS calibration being done by the backend. You could try getting a trace of the device in action with the windows driver, and investigate adding the calibration steps to the backend. generally this involves doing several small scans of a white area

Thank you! :) How do I log USB communication in Windows? I might try to implement what you said sometime. I love controlling devices! :) I also have to analyze the source code of the backend. Its implementor already used reverse engineering data, perhaps code that I'd need is already there.

For sure! In the extreme situation you experience with your scanner, you need to apply such correction to the line level. Just wanted to point out that for most scanners, the pipette tool in Xsane is a simple tweak that can give good results with minimum efforts. But surely not enough in your
