Optical Scanners

Optical scanners are devices that capture images of documents or objects using light. They work by shining a light on the item and detecting the reflected light to create a digital image. This process transforms physical text or pictures into a format that computers can read and store, making it easy to edit, share, or back up information. Common uses include scanning documents, photos, and barcodes. Scanners come in various types, such as flatbed, handheld, and sheet-fed, each suited for different tasks and environments.
