If you don't have it, you might be able to get a discount on adding it for about what a dedicated scanner would cost.
If you're just going to be scanning say 5 pages a day or even a little more and want to make a pdf file. Just buy a cheap piece of sh*t Brother inkjet MFP. We got one on sale once for like $50, inkjet printer, scanner, and fax. Total piece of big plastic crap but it faxed well and scanned well and were able to make jpg, tiff, and pdf over the network. The printer was crap and the ink hoses and heads always dried up so we never printed with it especially since we sell office equipment. Then when we didn't fax anymore and it died we threw it away.
Now if your volume goes up drastically there's a whole new arena of dedicated scanners out there that I could recommend that would be competing with a commercial quality copier/printer/mfp on the scan side.
