Flatbed Scanner A flatbed scanner is a type of image scanner that uses a flat, glass surface to capture digital images of flat objects, such as photographs, documents, artwork, and other two-dimensional materials. Flatbed scanners typically consist of a scanning bed, a scanning head with a light source and sensors, and scanning software for controlling scanning parameters and capturing images.
Users place the object to be scanned face-down on the scanning bed, close the scanner lid to ensure even illumination and focus, then initiate the scanning process using the scanning software. Flatbed scanners are commonly used in offices, homes, and professional settings for digitizing and archiving documents, photos, and artwork with high-quality results. |
