According to this [1] man page, the sane-genesys backend supports your
model. No first-hand experience, though...

Simple-scan is also based on libsane (as Xsane is). It also depends
on all those "desktop goodies" as dbus-session, xdg-utils, gsettings
and friends, which you might like -- or not. So it may be called
"simple" but Xsane is definitely simpler -- although most definitely
not as shiny.
