Hi, Chris.  The cancel button on the scanner definitely won't help, just as
the scan button doesn't help.  If cancelling the scan from SANE (xsane or
xscanimage) causes problems with corrupted or deleted output files, then my
suggestion would be to set the scan window height to a little less than the
length of the page (i.e. 10.9" for an 8.5"x11" page).
