What's the scanner for?
A scanner is an input device of a computer. Its function is to scan the appearance of pictures, photographs, films, manuscripts and other written materials or objects, and then input them into the computer and save them as files. In fact, the scanner has become the third most important computer input device after the keyboard and mouse. There are various forms of scanners, including black and white scanners and color scanners according to colors; For example, according to the scanning mode, there are hand-held scanners, flat-panel scanners, roller scanners and so on.
Flat scanner has the characteristics of wide use, strong function and moderate price, and has been widely used in many fields such as graphic image processing, electronic publishing, advertising production, office automation and so on. As a new important input device, scanner is widely used. Its function is just the opposite to that of a printer, that is, to input the graphic symbols on contracts, films, etc. into the computer.
Scanners differ greatly in appearance, but they can be divided into four categories: pen type, handheld type, platform type and drum type. They are different in size, accuracy and price. When used in different occasions, the accuracy, that is, the resolution, can range from hundreds to thousands of points per inch. Although the accuracy of pen-type and hand-held computers is not very high, they are easy to carry, and are generally used in personal desktops and notebook computers. Platform scanner, also known as flat scanner, has a moderate accuracy and can be used for office and desktop publishing. The most advanced is the rolling scanner, which is used in the field of professional printing.
The color output by the scanner can be divided into black and white (gray scale) and color according to the processed information. Color scanners input and output the most information, and the price is also decreasing, so they are becoming more and more popular.
How to install a scanner?

After installing the driver, a prompt will be given in the lower right corner of the taskbar ... (Most scanner drivers have different brands and models, but the installation steps are all through running the driver in the CD, so I won't introduce them here).
