Acquisition of Textual Data

Scanners can acquire textual data from printed, typed, or handwritten documents in different formats and styles to enhance readability. Scanners use light beams, lenses, mirrors, and arrays of solid state sensors to optically scan pages and convert the images into binary data stored on computers. Common scanner types include flatbed, sheet fed, V-shaped, and handheld models, with flatbed scanners typically using a light beam system and CCD sensor array to scan pages at high resolution for storage and optical character recognition into ASCII text formats.
