Shouldn't that be "--mode Color", with a capital C?

What version of sane backends and which backend did you use there?

I've gone through the log and it's clear from that that this is a bug in
the epson2 backend. It fails to take into account the line distance
when computing the maximum scan area, leading to a maximum that is too
big. You can work around the issue by using "--br-y 297.18" (i.e. 11.7
inches).
Hope this helps,
