The scanner is supported by SANE (http://www.sane-project.org/) by the genesys backend.
Get sane-backends and sane-frontends and build them. usb-support is necessary, which requires libusb-dev.
Use scanimage -L to check if the scanner can be found by sane. If it fails as a normal user, try as root, as there can be some usb-permission problems.
An image can now be scanned with scanimage:
scanimage --mode=Color --depth=16 --format=tiff -p > image.tif
On the scanner I used it was not possible to scan more than one image, after that I had to restart that scanner. I am not sure if this was a scanner problem or a setup problem.
