This command starts a scan for the default scanner with default settings. All
the available options are listed by running
.BR "scanimage \-\-help" .
.IR "scanimage\ \-\-help" .
If scanning aborts with an error message, turn on debugging as mentioned
above. Maybe the configuration file needs some tuning, e.g. to setup the path
to a firmware that is needed by some scanners. See the backend's manual page

You should get a list of PASSed tests. You can do the same with your backend
