Try reducing the resolution.

What scanning software are you using?

With SANE, I ran into a problem that the program would let me select a resolution that my scanner didn't support, and the picture would be cropped very oddly.  It also complained about memory issues, when clearly I had enough RAM to cover...  I'd double check scanner software settings.

Which machine you are using ? A classic Amiga with 512MB ? Wow...How ?

Betascan is free if I remember correctly and works a charm on my miggy. You might want to try that out.

Betascan = Amiga port of SANE.  (I actually use BetaScan.  Sorry for the confusion!)  Anyhow, other than having to set resolution carefully, I agree, it's a great solution.  I whole-heartedly endorse it.
