1. What is a scanner?

A scanner is a hardware used to import tangible media documents such as pictures or documents; it then converts this to a storable computer format so that the computer can understand. It does this by digitizing the image or document for colors, patterns, marks, and many other things; then stores theTop of pagem in a format the computer can understand; such as an image format, .bmp, .gif, .jpg, etc. Depending on the scanner and type, it could recognize documents with prints or letter characters and put the information in an editable document file that you can manipulate or edit. In similarity, it reads the patters and marks on a picture, reproducing it as close as possible and storing it as an image file. Certain scanners have the ability to scan objects too, which will be discuseed later on.
