A biometric scanner is a digital scanner used for imaging biological details. The phrase biometric scanner refers to the various fingerprint readers, palm scanners, retina scanners, and voice scanners used to verify identification.

Fingerprint recognition is one of the most common types of biometric security. It works by scanning and matching an individual's unique fingerprint patterns to verify their identity.
A biometric scanner, when used in consumer computing, most often refers to a fingerprint scanner. However, there are more programs coming out (that have been in use in the corporate/military sectors for years, no doubt) such as technology that uses a webcam to scan your facial features to allow you in to your computer. This technology would also qualify as biometric, as it uses features that are generally different for every person as a method of identification.
Ignoring the problems that biometric devices often have of false negatives (i.e. the scanner doesn't recognise you because you didn't put your finger on it correctly), one problem with using any biometric device (such as a fingerprint scanner) is that if someone figures out a way to "spoof" (fool) the scanner, there is no way to change your fingerprint. For example, if my credit card is stolen I can cancel it. If my password is stolen, I can change it. If someone has my fingerprints, well, I guess there is nothing I can do to stop them from accessing whaterver system they unlock.

It means that your computer would have a fingerprint scanner or facial recognition. This is becoming more and more popular with new computers.
Broadly, a "biometric device" is any device that measures a biological function or trait. As related to computers, biometric devices are used to control access and/or verify identity. Voice recognition, retinal scanners, palm/fingerprint scanners are all examples of biometric devices. A biometric scanner will take a picture (your fingerprint, your retina) and match it to a previous scan kept on file. Other types of biometric devices, such as voice recognition systems, will record your voice and compare the recording to a sample on file.
