The perishable nature of paper makes it difficult and complicated to preserve documents. The history of image scanners, can be traced back to the period when telephotography was used to transfer images from one place to other.

Scanners have evolved a lot over the years and have revolutionized the office environment, helping businesses to increasingly go paperless, and making document reproduction and sharing easier and more effective.

Scanners are most commonly used to digitize traditional (non-digital) photo prints and/ or other printed graphics for long-term archiving or viewing on the computer monitor. Scanners are also used for transforming printed/handwritten documents into editable/searchable text on the computer and scanning film and/or slides, which can be particularly useful for graphic artists and photographers. Scanners, present a world of digital art possibilities at your fingertips!

Wide variety of scanners differing from one another in terms of feature and function are now available. The most common type of scanner is the flatbed scanner.
