A scanner is an external computer device that allows users to make digital copies of hard file documents in seconds. It is like a copy machine that copies the file onto your computer instead of a piece of paper. Each scanner comes with its own software that helps you manage scanned documents or pictures. Some people like to edit photos once they are scanned onto the computer. It is a good idea to import your scanned photos to an editing program, like Adobe Photoshop, so you can edit them before you save them. Writer Bio
