1. What is document scanning?

Document scanning is the process of using a scanner to read an original image and convert it into a digital image that
can be viewed and edited on a computer

2.What types of documents can we scan?

We can scan a variety of documents such as photographs, artwork, books, slides, and other printed or handwritten
materials

3.If we scan a document with the size of 6X4 inches at 150 dpi, how many pixels can we create? If we scan a
document with the size of 6X4 inches at 150 dpi, we can create 54000 pixels (6x150x4x150).

4.What’s the function of photomultipliers (PTM) and CCD cells in scanners?

Photomultipliers (PTM) and CCD cells are used in scanners to capture and convert the light signals from the original
image into digital format

5. Tell the advantages of PTM over CCD cells.

The advantages of photomultipliers (PTM) over CCD cells are that they are more sensitive to low light levels, have
higher dynamic range, and can distinguish tonal differences more accurately, especially in the darker parts of an
image

A scanner is an ……electronic…….. device which can capture. images from physical

items
and convert them into digital ...formats, which in turn can be stored in a computer,
and viewed or modified using software ..applications.
Different types of scanners are available with different resolutions In the world of
electronic data transmission,scanning is considered to be the most cost-effective and
reliable way of transmitting images.
Prominent features of a scanner include:
 reliability….-
Unlike certain forms of data transmission, scanning involves only
transfer of hard images to digital forms. The role of the end-user is limited in
case of scanning. And as they are not dependent on two-way communication,
they can also help in storing important information or transmitting important
information.
 Efficiency - Modern scanners are built for efficiency and speed. And it comes with
ease of use as well as convenience.
  quality… - Scanning ensures the best resolution possible for digital
images.
Compared to fax machines, which may find it difficult to
reproduce the accurate details, scanners can reproduce images
with high resolution and precisions.
 .cost-saving.
- One of the biggest advantage of scanning is the
replacement of
physical files/forms with digital ones. Along with saving
physical space, which has to be used for storage, there are
also environmental benefits by using scanner.
