Our current copier didn't do scanning, but there was a call for document 
scanning, so we purchased a Xerox Documate 252 sheet fed scanner, which 
goes to PDF (or other options) (your choice of OCR or not).  It's 
attached to a student PC in the mailroom of our department, and anyone 
can drop off a document and fill out a slip, and one of the student 
workers does the scan and saves it to a common share drive which 
everyone can read for pickup.  This setup works very well and people 
don't have any problem picking up their scans off the shared drive.

We are looking to replacing our current copier and just looked at a 
Lanier LD175 and saw a demo.  You bring up your pile of scanned 
documents, press the scanner button, choose a name, and it saves it 
right to a SMB share on any computer (and the computer itself doesn't 
require any special software) (again, we'd use the common shared drive 
for distribution).  Scan results looked very good and it does it right 
to PDF (you can configure a lot of settings, such as resolution, etc).
