Thank you for your suggestion. The installation process worked flawlessly wihthout error messages and scanning several pages into one document worked better than with the utility program that came with the scanner. It scans A4 pages into A4 output pages and I did not have to cut the scanned document to size. It went automatically. In this regard the new program is definitely better than the original.
