Can data source return several TW_IDENTITY to let DSM show several models in the list of data sources?

TWAIN does not support that.

Your best bet is to do what scanner vendors do when providing a single DS to support many models. They return a somewhat generic name (e.g. “ScanWizard”) in the identity struct and then provide UI when their DS is enabled to allow the user to select a specific scanner.
