the default area of the plustek backend is NOT A4, it's exactly the small
portion you currently see.
You might use scanimage --help to see the available options, i.e.:
[SNIPSNAP]
Geometry:
-l 0..215mm [0]
Top-left x position of scan area.
-t 0..297mm [0]
Top-left y position of scan area.
-x 0..215mm [126]
Width of scan-area.
-y 0..297mm [76.21]
Height of scan-area.
Here you see the default area in brackets.
scanimage -x 215 -y 297 -format tiff >outputfile.tif
should give you the expected result.
