We charge by the inch for paper copies ($0.04/inch for 24" wide paper and $0.06/inch for 36" wide) and we charge $0.10 for each digital scan. A staff person has to do the copying/scanning, but we have no limit to the number of scans.

I have a question about large format scanning services. We have a large
format scanner & printer and charge a size-based fee to scan & print maps
for patrons. However, we've been getting a number of requests to scan maps
to CDs or USB drives instead of printing. Since making our large format
scanner self-service is not an option, a staff member has to do all of the
scanning. It takes the same amount of staff time to scan a map regardless
of its final format (paper or digital) but patrons only pay if they want a
paper copy. How do others handle large format scanning requests - do you
charge for scanning regardless of final format or only to scan & print? If
you or your staff do the scanning do you set a limit on the number of items
you'll scan for a patron at one time? Any & all advice is appreciated!
