I wouldn't trust scanners to follow SCSI specs, specially if they come
as a package with SCSI card etc. My acer caused problems with other
devices on the same chain until I removed from the PCB a bunch of capacitors
they had put on the SCSI signal lines. They either put them on for EMI or
an attempt to sort of terminate but caused too much reflection when you
had other devices on the chain which were using faster data rates.
