I'm aware of the restrictions, and you misunderstood the plan.
   The scanner won't be going to the National Archives. Documents are
   printed out from the computers provided by CIA in room 3000 using their
   laser printers, then taken from the archive after being checked and
   placed in one of the green security bags. (I've done this several
   times, including today. It's how I got the Project Truth report and
   some other goodies.)
   The flatbed scanner restriction is for scanning original archive
   materials only, since the risk of damaging them is genuinely
   unacceptable. (The flatbed restriction is also a bit inaccurate since
   there are non-flatbed scanners that are allowed - it's more accurate to
   say that what's forbidden are scanners with moving parts that can
   interact with the paper or material.)

   Automatic feeder devices on flatbed scanners are prohibited."
