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). PM
