Comment 29 for bug 550856

A lot of the reports above do not say whether their problem only occurs when using an ADF, but I suspect that is the case.

Since some people report getting a different size page to what I am getting (Legal), the resultant size might depend on the particular brand/make of scanner Automatic Document Feeder.

I have no idea how to make sense of the source code for this application, and would be even more baffled if I looked at a proprietary scanner driver.

But I notice that if I run xsane instead of simplescan, it sees my scanner and displays the text "21.59 x 35.56cm" at the bottom of the main dialog near the Scan button. That size is Legal (8.3" x 14") so it seems that both xsane and simplescan read that from the device driver somehow.
