I've had a Fujitsu s1300i ScanSnap scanner for two or three years, and it's still not supported on Linus, as best I can tell. But there's a guy in England who's got a fix. Here are the instructions that get my scanner going -- I know it's way not the same as yours, but I found him on the web, and you may too...
websites:
https://www.josharcher.uk/code/install-scansnap-s1300-drivers-linux/
https://www.gaggl.com/2016/11/getting-fujitsu-scansnap-s1300i-to-work-on-ubuntu-16-04lts/
install Sane:
sudo apt install sane
install Simple Scan:
sudo apt install simple-scan
download driver to somewhere known (Downloads?):
https://www.josharcher.uk/static/files/2016/10/1300i_0D12.nal
create dir (mkdir won't do it if the dir's already there):
sudo mkdir /usr/share/sane/epjitsu/
move driver to
/usr/share/sane/epjitsu/
unless it's already there, add to /etc/sane.d/epjitsu.conf
# Fujitsu S1300
firmware /usr/share/sane/epjitsu/1300_0C26.nal
usb 0x04c5 0x11ed
power on the scanner and connect it to a known working USB port
see if all is well: sudo sane-find-scanner | egrep 1300
if all is well, it says:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04c5 [FUJITSU], product=0x128d [ScanSnap S1300i]) at libusb:004:004
reboot
run Simple Scan -- after a bit, there should be some whirring in the scanner, and it should say "FUJITSU ScanSnap S1300i"
that's all...
