It really all depends on the make of the printer/scanner, because really not every company sells quality for their prices. I would say HP is a really great way to go for a printer with a built in scanner, but buying a scanner by itself may be a wee-bit over your price-limit. If you want a scanner only, get HP.
You will need a scanner. Many printers now ship with scanners built in. The picture is placed in the scanner and a digital record is made which can then be saved in various file formats. These can then be displayed, edited and printed by graphic software such as Paintshop.
Depends on what you need to do. A scanner copies an image into a computer and a camera takes a picture of something. Many all in one printers have scanners built in, some are as cheap as $50 on sale.
There are many places where one can buy HP laser printers with built in fax. One can buy HP laser printers with built in fax at popular on the web sources such as Best Buy and Amazon.
It is unclear which brand produced the first color printer and fax machine combination. Today, there exists many machines that are considered all-in-one: printer, copier and scanner, but not many contain fax machines built in.
A scanner is typically considered an external device, as it connects to a computer or other devices via USB or wireless connections. It is used to digitize physical documents and images, allowing them to be stored and manipulated electronically. Some all-in-one printers may have built-in scanning capabilities, but standalone scanners are generally external.
Yes, printers have memory built-in, used to store printing data while the printing is in process. Some printer types must compose the entire page in memory prior to the actual printing, others use the memory to buffer some print. All printers will have such memory, but inexpensive models might be designed with the bare minimum of memory (in order to save cost on the printer).
No, but you can probably get an app that does the same thing.
The first image scanner developed for use with a computer was a drum scanner. It was built in 1957 at the US National Bureau of Standards by a team led by Russell A. Kirsch
An HP (or any brand) all-in-one printer can perform many more tasks than a regular printer, since as an all in one printer it may also contains a fax machine, scanner, or copier. Additionally, some users have found the utility of a built in touch screen and wireless connectivity convenient, although these features are not unique to all-in-one printers. Lastly, some all-in-one printers are also capable of printing high quality photos in addition to their other functions, saving you the trouble of having to buy a separate photo printer or being forced to settle for grainier image quality.
A place where you can buy a wireless printer with a built-in scanner and fax is at Office Max. You can also buy one at staples, office depot, walmart and other places.
