Rereading the thread, I'll go for "spannatore". At least that way,
Italian readers know they are in front of a technical term with a
meaning of its own, and it harmonizes with the unified euro effort
outlined above.

I *still* haven't got over a scanner being "uno scanner" in Italian as
"scannare" is "to slay someone/thing by cutting their throat" (!)
