  For scanimage it works for me:

  export SANE_DEFAULT_DEVICE="mustek:/dev/sg0"
  scanimage -T (scanner starts to scan)
  export SANE_DEFAULT_DEVICE="pnm:0"
  scanimage -T
  scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument
  (--filename is missing, so it uses the pnm backend)

  Another way would be to write a short shell script. For xscanimage amd
  pnm:0 e.g.:

  #!/bin/sh
  xscanimage pnm:0

  Bye,
  Henning
