HP Scanjet C7076A Error during read

I have a very old scanner HP Scanjet C7076A with ADF which I would like to use. I am using sane and xsane for scanning, and I can choose the scanner there, it is connected with USB. But after pushing SCAN or PRESCAN the scanner only makes some noises and after a while a window pops up saying “Error during read: Error during device I/O” and doesn’t scan.

dmesg shows it connected
[107611.371523] usb 1-1.2: new full-speed USB device number 10 using ehci-pci
[107616.528137] usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=03f0, idProduct=0601, bcdDevice= 1.00

[107616.528177] usb 1-1.2: SerialNumber: SG05A230KHPE

Any ideas how to find out more about the problem, if it is a software one?
Thank you!
