I get an almost identical problem with 5.11, in that it starts to preview
and then locks up. I talked to JB at Guildford and he said that rebooting
the scanner gets it going. This is done by unplugging the power supply and
then reconnecting. It seems to work for me. It never used to happen, but
I can't remember at which version of the OS it changed. I don't use the
scanner as much as I used to.
Now UniScan, released at the Guildford show, might solve the problem and
allow me to use an A3 flat bed scanner without spending a fortune.
