[comp.sys.ibm.pc] How to talk to a hand scanner?

I just got my hands on one of those handheld digitizing scanners
(Genius Geniscan, to be precise, but I suspect that the same scanner
is being sold under many different brand names since I see so many
different brand names that look alike).  Anyhow, I find that the
software that comes with it leaves a lot to be desired, and I'd like
to write some of my own.  Unfortunately, the device included no
documentation whatsoever on how to talk to it directly, and the only
manufacturer information included mentioned an address in Taiwan.
Before I write a letter halfway across the world, I was wondering:
does anyone out there know or have pointers to low-level device
information on scanners like this?
