"Hello today I'm going to talk about what is the definition of a scanner. There are several different types of scanners. The most popular one you would see sitting on a desktop in an office they come in different flavors. You have flatbed scanners which you would lift the top to place the document on the glass. You have paper fed scanners where you can put several documents in at once and it feeds them through. And you also have hand held scanners for scanning a page at a time.
