IRIS

Three kinds of scanner

Flatbed. Glass and lid: right for photos, books and fragile documents.
Sheet-fed. Pulls pages through itself, dozens per minute — for accounting and archives.
Portable. Fits in a bag, runs off USB — for work at the client's desk.

How much resolution

300 dpi is enough for documents; use 600 dpi and above for archiving photos. Duplex scanning reads both sides in one pass, which beats running the stack twice.

Need printing too? See all-in-one printers; for printing alone, printers and paper. Full department: printing & office.

FAQ

Does a phone camera replace a scanner? For a quick snap, yes — but the text comes out skewed and OCR misreads it. Archives need a scanner.

What is OCR? Text recognition on an image: afterwards the document is searchable and you can copy from it.
