Duplex scanning is what it's called.
Brother has several multi-function printers with duplex scanning.
As for the others, their sites aren't as well organized.

Don't want an inkjet.
Found this (deal too for $250) http://www.staples.com/Samsung-ProXpress-M3870FW-Mono-All-in-One-Printer/product_61691
Can duplex scan, laser, etc. Looks good to me.

Except that it's a Samsung, expensive toner, crap drivers and dodgy hardware.
If you can do with b/w this is a much better option

I've worked with samsungs in the past and haven't had issues.
They're (my customer) already coming from a 10yr old Canon that has no Windows 8 support so they're pretty miffed about them.
Staying away from Brother too since they always have the toner and drum separate. I think it's a terrible design. Can't tell you how many times customers complain about bad image quality only to find out they haven't changed out the drum. The toner might be a little more expensive when it's built in but I never hear complaints about bad IQ related to a failing drum when it's built in with the toner.

It's not the printer language that's the issue, it's the ability to scan to the PC. The current one they have can print too but the scanning software is straight out of the XP days. They released a newer update but it's far too buggy and reading online it looks like everyone has issues with it.
