A scanner takes an input which is printed materials (pictures, text) and converts it to an electronic format that can be edited.

An image scanner optically scans images, printed text or handwriting and converts it to a digital image. It was invented by Ray Kurzweil.
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.
Yes, using a scanner.

I think you mean 'SCANNER'. But, whatever! :)) It means: A device that converts a printed image (as text or photograph) into a form a computer can use. (As for displaying on the screen.)
The function of a computer scanner is to copy material. This material may be a worksheet or photo for example.
A scanner is a computer input device for receiving images from printed material so a computer can use or store them. However, the computer cannot directly understand words contained in such images. That takes software to convert them in a process known as optical character recognition.
A scanner captures physical documents or images and converts them into digital format, which is then sent to a computer or other device for processing, editing, or storage. Since the scanner is providing data to the computer, it is classified as an input device. Output devices, such as printers or monitors, are used to display or produce results from a computer—like printed documents or visual displays. In contrast, scanners bring data into the computer system, which is the defining function of an input device. So, a scanner is clearly an input device because it feeds information into the computer rather than receiving it.
a scanner can be used to import printed photos onto your computer. It can also be used as a copy machine when connected to a printer.
