[OPLINTECH] image scanning on public PCs?

[Chad Neeper (list)]

I haven't implemented this yet, but one of my small libraries has a 
public color copier that has a scan-to-network-folder feature. Because 
they've implemented the copier as a profit center, we're looking at 
allowing the patrons to scan documents, edit them on any available lab 
computer, and then print them back out to the color copier (which 
doubles as the primary BW/color printer for the public). No charge for 
scanning, but same charges will apply if the patron chooses to print. It 
_sounds_ like a good idea, at least. :-)
