SCANNERS

Scanners are the eyes of your computer. They can “see” images or printed text and

translate them into binary code.

Most scanners collect data from a page by recording which areas are light and which

are dark. They contain a camera which is made up of thousands of tiny cells.

Each cell detects whether a small part of the image is either light or dark. It transmits

this data to the CPU, which then creates the image.

In order to see images, hear music or transmit information the PC uses output devices

to communicate.
