Arkinsyöttöskannerit

Arkinsyöttöskannerit, also known as document scanners or ADF scanners, are devices designed to digitize paper documents by automatically feeding them through a scanning mechanism. The "arkin syöttö" part of the Finnish name translates to "sheet feed," highlighting their core functionality of handling multiple pages without manual intervention for each sheet.

These scanners typically feature an automatic document feeder (ADF) tray where a stack of papers can be placed. The ADF then picks up the pages one by one and passes them over a scanning element, which captures the image. This process allows for efficient scanning of multi-page documents, saving significant time and effort compared to flatbed scanners that require individual placement of each page.

Arkinsyöttöskannerit vary in their capabilities, including scanning speed (measured in pages per minute or PPM), resolution (measured in dots per inch or DPI), duplex scanning (the ability to scan both sides of a page simultaneously), and capacity of the ADF tray. They are commonly used in offices, libraries, and archiving facilities for tasks such as creating digital records, processing invoices, or digitizing historical documents. The output can be saved in various file formats, including PDF, JPEG, and TIFF.
