I have *never* seen a university administered copy machine set up to use the scan/email. For the machine on my floor it's abunch of sysadmin nonsense: the copier can't be behind our lab firewall for some reason, the copier's email doesn't do SSL so it can't get across the firewall to talk to our mail server, no one wants to whitelist the copier in their SMTP server if it's on a building wide subnet, etc etc.
In depseration I have been known to set my laptop to pretend it's on the copier's subnet, connect ethernet direct from a laptop to the copier, and use the copier's FTP function. For chapter-sized scans this is still faster then trying to use a flatbed scanner.
