Macs are surprisingly tolerant to wrong SCSI cabling. If the scanner has or needs a terminator, should be metioned in the manual. Perhaps you find some switch labeled "terminator on/off" near the SCSI ID selector switch. You should also make sure that the other end of the cable is properly terminated; perhaps the adapter's bios or the adapter driver allow to select the transfer rate. 5 MB/s should be enough for the scanner.
