out of proportion images usually are because you requested a resolution that the scanner does not physically support in one of it's two directions. i dont know if this is the case in your scanner, since i dont have one, but it is certainly the case for older scanners from several different brands that i have used.
try turning on debugging for your scanner from the command line, and look at the output during a small scan. see if it says anything about rounding the x or y resolution value.
