Scanners
Crème de la crème of scanners
I still remember the first scanner I ever bought. It was an HP ScanJet, from the US, which I brought back to Indonesia when I repatriated.

It was pretty heavy. I felt so proud to have it, as it was perhaps the first scanner anybody had in Indonesia at that time. It had its own SCSI card. Scanners have evolved a lot since
We know a scanner comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. For example, if we need to scan an image, we have to use an image scanner. A scanner of this type is suitable for this purpose. If we need to scan a document, then a flatbed scanner would do the job well. A flatbed scanner looks like a copier. In fact, a copier also has a scanner, and a scamer is also used in barcode scanner. Have I lost you yet?
A scanner, as you should know, makes a digital image of whatever we place on its screen. What we do not always know is that they come under different brands. We have scanners from Canon, HP and Epson. Another brand that may sound a bit alien to us is Bowe Bell+Howell, which is now part of Kodak.
Another brand that we are not so familiar with is Fujitsu.
Fujitsu makes a variety of document scanners, most of which are intended for special uses. They have scanners for medical and healthcare, government, financial services, insurance and education.
Document scanners usually come with an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), so we do not have to manually place the documents on the bed. A good ADF should have a straight paper path in order to prevent paper jam. Some more sophisticated scanners also have the duplex scanning capability, which enables them to scan both sides of the document at the same time.
