You need to sample at slightly more than 2x the maximum frequency you want to acquire. A scanner IS a data acquisition system. 53 lp/mm is 106 lines/mm, which, as you say, is ~2700 SPI. In order to assure that the scanner can actually "acquire" all the lines, both black and white (which is what a line pair is), you would need to sample at > 5400 SPI.
