∙ 10y agoA flat bed scanner is a machine upon which a document such as a business letter or a drawing made on paper is laid flat (usually face-down) so that a bar of light can pass under it, allowing sensors to record a digital recipe to a hard disk. This recipe can later be recalled for printing or digital alteration of the document. The flat bed can be compared to the drum scanner, which spins the document on a cylinder, against a stationary light fixture. There are also 3-D scanners and bar-code scanners.
