Dokumentscannere

Dokumentscannere, often referred to as document scanners, are specialized devices designed to convert physical documents into digital files. These scanners capture images of paper documents, such as invoices, receipts, contracts, and photographs, and store them as digital data on a computer or other storage media. This digital transformation facilitates easier organization, searching, sharing, and archiving of information, reducing the need for physical storage space and mitigating the risk of document loss or damage.

Document scanners vary in their capabilities and intended use. Desktop scanners are common in homes and small offices, offering a compact solution for occasional scanning needs. High-speed or production scanners are designed for businesses with high volumes of documents, capable of scanning hundreds or even thousands of pages per day. Mobile scanners, often handheld or portable, allow for document digitization on the go. Features such as automatic document feeders (ADF) enable batch scanning of multiple pages without manual intervention, while duplex scanning allows for the digitization of both sides of a document simultaneously. Image enhancement software often accompanies document scanners, providing tools to improve scan quality, remove blank pages, and correct orientation. The digital files are typically saved in formats like PDF, JPEG, or TIFF, which are widely compatible with various software applications.
