Just what it says.  Plug it in and it starts working.

There is none.  No firmware upload is required for this scanner.

The relevant line in snapscan.conf is this:

# Change to the fully qualified filename of your firmware file, if
# firmware upload is needed by the scanner
firmware /usr/share/sane/snapscan/your-firmwarefile.bin

Notice that it hasn't changed from the default as-installed snapscan.conf.

The issue never came up.  I plugged in the scanner, loaded xsane, and started
scanning stuff.  That's really all there was to it.
