Basic Information on Scanning
What is a "Scan"?
A "scan" is the process of converting the optical information of paper data (such as documents, magazine clippings,
photos, handwritten illustrations, and so on) into digital image data.
You can save scanned data as a digital image such as a JPEG or PDF.
You can then print the image, send it by email, and so on.
Scanning Uses
You can use scanning in a variety of ways to make your life more convenient.
❏
By scanning a paper document and turning it into digital data, you can read it on a computer or a smart device.
❏
By scanning tickets or flyers into digital data, you can dispose of the originals and reduce clutter.
❏
By scanning important documents, you can back them up to cloud services or another storage medium, just in
case they get lost.
❏

❏
By scanning hand-drawn illustrations and so on, you can share them on social media at a much higher quality
