I am assuming that you mean 'What does a computer scanner transform printed material into?'
It transforms it into an image file such as .bmp or .jpg. It can then be manipulated as though it were a photograph.

What is a scanner printer use for?
Scanning and printing. (Printing = taking digital pictures and text from the computer and putting them on physical paper Scanning = taking physical pictures and text on paper and digitizing them into the computer)
an input device that reads printed text and graphics and transfers them to a computer in digital form(change hard copy to soft copy)?
scanner
Which is an imput device A printer scanner monitor or speaker?
None, as imput is not a real word. If you mean input then the Scanner, as it inputs data into the computer. The others are output devices. The printer outputs text or image on paper, the monitor outputs visuals and the speaker outputs sound.
Can this pen scanner transfer photographic images in addition to converted text?
No, this pen scanner really only works with text and barcodes.
How do you describe the scanner?
scanner---often abbreviated to just scanner---is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Common examples found in offices are variations of the desktop (or flatbed) scanner where the document is placed on a glass window for scanning. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications. Mechanically driven scanners that move the document are typically used for large-format documents, where a flatbed design would be impractical.
What copies pictures or text into the computer?
A scanner copies pictures or text into the computer.
Can computer viruses be contracted through a computer scanner?
Definitely not.Computer viruses cannot be contracted through a computer scanner, not to be confused with an anti-virus scanner. Although a hardware scanner inputs data into the computer from a hard copy, it's impossible for a virus to infect the computer because the text is either made into an image or as plain-text.
What computer hardware is used to input text and graphics to a computer?
For text, it's the keyboard. For graphics, It can be a scanner. Sometimes you could also use a wacom tablet for drawing, if that's what you mean by graphics. And then there is the touch screen. (in certain computers)
What input would you use for changing the text from a page into digital format so you can edit it?
The page of text is first scanned and then an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software program is used to convert the scanned text file into a machine-encoded text file that the user can edit and make changes to. So the device is a scanner, usually a flat-bed scanner, or a hand-held scanner, or a printer that has an inbuilt scanner.
Why was the scanner made?
A flatbed scanner was made so that text from a sheet of paper could be transcoded into digital formats for use on a computer.
Is a 3d printer a output device?
A 3D printer is a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) device that creates three-dimensional objects. Like a traditional printer, a 3D printer receives digital data from a computer as input. However, instead of printing the output on paper, a 3D printer builds a three-dimensional model out of a custom material. A printer is a device that accepts text and graphic output from a computer and transfers the information to paper, usually to standard size sheets of paper. Printers vary in size, speed, sophistication, and cost. In general, more expensive printers are used for higher-resolution color printing.
How a text is converted into digital data?
There are several ways that written text is converted into digital form or data. 1. Word processing is a term to describe how words are typed into a computer application and then converted into fancier looking text. WP data can then be printed by the computer through a LASER printer or the data can be stored on the computer or even sent in digital form from one computer to another computer / printer / storage device somewhere else on the planet. 2. Scanning a written word book through a convertor or scanner uses simmilar technology to a photo copier to input the written words into digital form
