A scanner is a device that can scan a piece of paper and encode it into a digital form. The resolution of a scanner measures the number of dots per inch (dpi) that it captures.
This table lists the resolutions of various scanners:

Canon CanoScan LiDE 300 2400 dpi
Epson Perfection V39 4800 dpi
Fujitsu fi-65F Image Scanner 600 dpi
HP Scanjet Pro 3500 f1 1200 dpi

To compare the scanners based on their resolutions (dpi), here are the resolutions again for clarity:

- Canon CanoScan LiDE 300: 2400 dpi
- Epson Perfection V39: 4800 dpi
- Fujitsu fi-65F Image Scanner: 600 dpi
- HP Scanjet Pro 3500 f1: 1200 dpi

Now, let's evaluate each choice:

**(Choice A)**: The Canon scanner may miss some details of a scanned document that the HP scanner captures.
- The resolution of the Canon scanner (2400 dpi) is higher than that of the HP scanner (1200 dpi). Therefore, this statement is not likely true.

**(Choice B)**: The HP scanner may capture some detail of a scanned document that the Fujitsu scanner misses.
- The resolution of the HP scanner (1200 dpi) is significantly higher than that of the Fujitsu scanner (600 dpi). This statement is likely true.

**(Choice C)**: The Fujitsu scanner may capture some detail of a scanned document that the Epson scanner misses.
- The resolution of the Fujitsu scanner (600 dpi) is much lower than that of the Epson (4800 dpi). Therefore, this statement is not likely true.

**(Choice D)**: The Epson scanner may miss some details of a scanned document that the Canon scanner captures.
- The resolution of the Epson scanner (4800 dpi) is higher than that of the Canon (2400 dpi), so this statement is also not likely true.

Based on the analysis, the most likely true comparison is:

**(Choice B)**: The HP scanner may capture some detail of a scanned document that the Fujitsu scanner misses.
