The Fujitsu would be the best of that bunch.... do not overlook Kodak. I service these type
of scanners and have for 15 years. Web sites like CDW are a good place to look. Rollers do
need to be replaced. The frequency depends on usage and media being scanned. Cost is
hard to pin point, but $300.00 is in the ball park for parts/labor. Speed and document size
are common factors in selection. Kodak has local in house service for most models, Fujitsu
has dealer service, which in your area should be local. For the most part they do not require
major service... the feed rollers and a good cleaning once a year or so tends to be the norm.
I service the larger scanners... they start around $20,000.00 but I an somewhat familiar
with the smaller ones. Hope this helps and good luck in the new year !
