"Twain" is the software interface between the scanner-specific drivers 
and the user application.   SCSI scanners are usually processor target 
devices, and their communications protocols are all proprietary.

There is no indication that this will be any different for USB; there's 
certainly nothing that leads me to expect a standardised command set or 
data format(s).
