1.1 Introduction

1.2 How Does a Scanner Work?
Theway a scanner works is really quite simple.Firstof all, the documents
are scanned in by means of a reading device. This involves brightly
illuminating the document, similar to the procedure for photos. The
scanner reads the image dot by dot - after all, your document may be a
piece of writing, a drawing or a photo. The scanner transcribes this
information into a digital format (or, to put it more simply, in black and
whitepoints), compressesthisdataandthen transmits it to the output unit,
either a PC or Printer.
Now, enjoy your new scanner!
