After a certain time period, all scanners will begin showing signs of wear and tear. Specialized equipment can show such signs based on the intensity of use. In most cases, the scanner's data capturing ability decreases, the data scanned is of poor quality and a scanner begins to take more time to scan data than it previously used to. When users begin to face such problems from their large format scanners, it is time to send off the scanner for repair.
A large number of companies provide repairing services for scanners. Most of these can be contacted over the phone or through their sites in the Internet. A person contacting these firms must leave exact description of the type and model of the scanner being sent for repair and if possible the problem with unit. Most of these firms take as much as 4-6 weeks to repair a unit (repair turnaround). The turnaround time usually depends the nature of repair, the availability of parts, and the number of repairs or units to be finished. Many of these firms guarantee the repairs done for 90 days from invoice date of completion.
In order to insure warranty repair is available users are required to send in the registration cards upon purchase.
User should ascertain that a particular firm is capable and willing to undertake the repair work of the specific scanner before hiring them as some firms do not accept certain types of scanners. While shipping a scanner for repair, a person must make sure that the unit is packed properly with at least 3-6 inches of foam peanuts or similar packing material (do not use newspaper or shredded paper as packing material) between all sides of the unit and shipping box. The owner must take special care to wrap the battery and accessories separately. In case an owners are unable to handle the packing, they can use a shipping service which includes a packing service. It is always preferable if the owner uses a shipper who can track the package and provide this information online. Scanner owners must always take care to put their name, address, phone and email directly on the unit with a sticker or tag.
Most repair firms give an estimate for unit repair before the work is done. Users may pre-pay this amount by check, money order, certified funds, Visa, Master Card, or even PayPal.
