The color models you mention is that the MP C4503/5503?

That is only 2 of the models. Also included are C2003/2503/3003/3503/6003.

One word answer? Yes.

This is not something above what the machine can handle. However in order to keep the account in good standing you need to have feed belt/roller in stock. They are very durable and generally require cleaning, but sometimes the feed belt can tear depending on several factors and you will need a replacement. Another thing to keep in mind is customer will not care about what kind of paper goes in to the scanner. Be prepared to have extra service visits because there will be a ton of paper dust to clean from under the glass and staples.

02 Series feeders were okay but 03 is when the real improvement was made as everyone else here has suggested. You should train the end user to clean the glass slit as it is guaranteed they will scan papers with whiteout, marker not fully tried.

I pretty much echo what everyone else is saying. The feeder should be able to handle what you want it to do, but having a spare feed belt would be a good thing. This is the bottom end of a block of machines that have a pretty hefty capacity. The next tier down is 300X-350X and the tier down from that is the 200x-250x. My experience is people expect way too much out of the 200x-250x. Those are not a work horse machine at all. Use them within parameters and they are excellent. Try to treat them as a press and suffer the consequences.

I know some of the SPDF have a bulletin out on them for a firmware upgrade. I am not sure if the 4055 is included in that or not.

We just retired a c4502 with a SPDF at 660000 scans. It was necessary because the feeder was needing roller shafts, motor, one way bearings replaced. It was basically just worn out.

Apparently you don't, because you were just advised to add a single pass DF that's actually standard in our country(s).
My apologies for not being more clear.
How is this?
YES!

.....Although reliability does depend heavily on the service, and I'm not that confident in that aspect at this point

In the uk the machine does come standard with the ardf under a edp code what Sales use but they also do the machine with a SPDF as standard under a different edp code I suppose it what ever version the sales Dept order.
