Good Morning Kevin,
Its been awhile since I had my hands on my Jazz & JAZZ +. Of the two scanners, both are identical, with the JAZZ + the better scanner.
The messages you received are as following:
1. SL Main Lamp Motor FAIL
This is the reflective bulb that went out on you. The other option, would be that you might had installed it wrong.
2. ESL Transparent L FAIL.
This is the other bulb for transparency film. Both bulbs are the one & the same. Again the option, might be a wrong installation of the bulb.
3. ESL Main Lens Motor FAIL
This is message could be any reason for it to have a fail.
I would think if its time to check if the bulbs were installed correctly FIRST, followed by the outright replacement of the bulb, this message would disappear.
When you purchased this scanner, did you get the very last version software for it to run on OS10.3.9 Panther or Jaguar? I think it was 3.5.1 software.
Do you have the original correct calibration slide and manuals for it?
Unfortunately I am at a disadvantage as I offered for FREE both of these scanners at one point, but being there were no takers, I sold them dirt cheap to Genesis Equipment Marketing. The individual you want to speak to would be Michael Streeter. I gave him everything associated with those two scanners: software, SCSI cable, manuals, spare bulbs and parts...
Here is their website:

Tell me your scanner configuration for now and I will review my notes on my Portable HD that I backup all data to. Maybe I might have software.
BULBS are still available with many of the light bulb companies. You would have to get the information off the bulbs that are current installed in your machine. If you have a manual, the type of bulb information should be listed.
Any additional questions you post it here and I do my best to answer. I am using an Imacon Flextight Precision III and a Scitex Eversmart Pro II.
I have plenty of spare bulbs and the last version of software to keep me running for awhile. Unless I give up on scanning, I plan to use it more often.
