Adjusting scan settings using scanimage

Scanimage is a command-line-only application that uses the first scanner found and the default scan settings. A
command initiates the scan and stores the image in TIFF or PXM format. You can provide command-line options to
specify the scan settings.
For example, to initiate scanning of a legal-size document, type scanimage original-size=Legal
> /tmp/image.pxm in the command line, and then press Enter.
