This is a bug in the backend for the 310 that we haven't gotten around
to
fixing yet. I don't own a 310 but I think I know what the fix is and I
will try to post a repair for it on the snapscan webpage
<htp://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~charter/snapscan.html> this evening.

In the meantime, try using xscanimage if you can.
