DOA Policy for Truper
Definitions:
Warrantable Repair: A unit may be considered for Warrantable Repair if it is not functioning per specification, as
detailed in the published Product specifications, after it has been installed for more than 30 days (and less than one year) or has more than 20,000 pages fed through the scanner.
DOA: A unit is considered Dead on Arrival (DOA) if the scanner arrives on-site in a non-damaged carton and does not function properly. If the shipping carton is damaged, the customer should immediately inspect the scanner for any physical damage. If damage is present, the customer should not accept the scanner and should contact the company they purchased the scanner from and that company should immediately file a claim with their carrier.
If there is no carton damage, but within 30 days of the date of your Scanner purchase or 20,000 pages fed, whichever comes first, the unit is not functioning per specification, as detailed in the published Product specifications, the scanner is considered DOA. The scanner is considered functioning if the Authorized Depot shows that the scanner works (scans the color test sheet and image clarity test sheet) with ScanDemo (or other demo software) using a standalone PC.

Once the unit has been verified by Böwe Bell + Howell Technical Support to meet the Warranty Repair definition as stated above, a scanner to be used as a "loaner" can be requested if the estimated repair time quoted by Böwe Bell + Howell is greater than five business days. At Böwe Bell + Howell's discretion, the loaner scanner will be sent out at the MSRP to the end user.

When applicable, the end user will be credited the MSRP of the loaner scanner when it has been returned with all parts inventories present.
The scanner must be shipped in the original carton and packaging materials. Please refer to your Operator Manual for repacking instructions. The customer is responsible for shipping charges to send the scanner to the Authorized Depot. The scanner will be repaired within 72 hours of receipt and will be returned to the end user (at no charge) by the same shipping priority as it was sent to the Authorized Depot.
