Answer 1

Take a look at a Plustek PS286+. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/730032-REG/Plustek_PS286PLUS_SmartOffice_PS286_Plus_Document.html



It will do all of the stuff you require.

Answer 2

most folks use scanner software that is provided. that has always been an issue with me.

I can rarely get a good copy with that software



I use photofiltre, or irfanview or any type of picture enhancing program, wherein most of them work



I use the twain part of edit, ... i select the installed scanner, I copy and save to a bmp file. that preserves the sort of quality you asked about. I have used a number of scanners and they all seem to be able to do what you seek.



I just bought an old one on Craigslist for 10 dollars that does not need a power cord but just plugged into my USB port. That works as well.

Answer 3

Most office photocopiers will do this. Watch for one at an auction, or bankruptcy sale.
