Scanning Method

What is Scanning Method?

Scanning method refers to the process of how an image is captured and converted into a digital format by a scanner.

There are two main scanning methods: flatbed and sheet-fed. A flatbed scanner is a type of scanner that uses a flat glass surface to scan documents or images. The document is placed on the glass, and a scanning arm moves across it to capture the image. This method is best for scanning documents, photos, and other flat items. A sheet-fed scanner is a type of scanner that feeds documents through the scanner using rollers or other mechanisms. This method is best for scanning multiple pages quickly, and is commonly used in office environments. In addition to these two main scanning methods, there are also specialized scanners that use different methods, such as drum scanners, handheld scanners, and slide scanners. The scanning method used depends on the type of document or image being scanned and the requirements of the user. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, such as speed, resolution, and ease of use, and should be chosen based on the specific needs of the user.
