Plustek parallel port scanner chip. See

Not sure. Looks like a memory chip.
9940 is a date code. Year 1999, week 40.

I would guess this is the main controller chip, but perhaps
the P98003 is already the main controller chip.

This is the "analog front-end" made by Wolfson Micro.
Its main function is to do the analog-digital conversion.

Looks like a 5V voltage regulator.

Looks like some analog component. Stepper motor driver perhaps?

I think the P98003 and GENIUS 04-43-006B chips are most important
in order to figure out how to control the scanner.
