You have several options if you want to use a scanner to digitize documents. Some printers have built-in scanners, but if your printer doesn't moonlight as a scanner, you'll need another device.
Several types of scanners exist. One option is a flatbed scanner. To use a flatbed scanner, you place the document face down on a glass surface and close the scanner's lid.
Tap the "scan" button, and a sensor passes back and forth beneath the glass, reading the text on the document. If the scanner connects to a computer, you might be able to see the image or text transfer to the monitor screen as the sensor passes over.
If you use a flatbed scanner, you need to move each page of the document by hand when scanning. Another type of scanner is a sheet-fed scanner.
It's usually smaller than a flatbed scanner and features an opening on each end. You place a pile of documents to be scanned on the top of the opening. Press scan, and the sheets pass through the body of the scanner, one by one, coming out of the opening on the other end.
Once you scan a document, how the digitized version makes it to your device depends on a few factors. If the scanner is connected directly to your computer via a cable, there will most likely be a file folder on your device that contains the scanned documents.
Simply click on the folder to access the documents. Some scanners use WiFi to connect to nearby devices, while others let you plug in a USB flash drive to load the files. Once you finish scanning, you eject the drive, then plug it in to another device to upload the new files. Documents come in many formats and sizes. Some are text-based, while others are images. Depending on your company's content needs, you might also have to upload video and audio files.
Let's take a closer look at a few of the more common types of document file formats and when you might upload them. PDF stands for portable document format. Adobe created the PDF format to facilitate the exchange and presentation of documents.
When you save a document as a PDF, the recipient usually can't edit or alter the document. PDFs are universal documents. Whether someone opens a PDF on a PC or a Mac, on a laptop or a smartphone, the arrangement and formatting of the document will look the same. What's on page one will be on page one for every user. PDFs work well to preserve the exact design and formatting of the original document and are also easy to view and share on most devices.
A PDF file can have both text and images in it. Some PDF files are fillable, meaning that users can open them and add information. A common example of a fillable PDF is a form, such as a tax form. You can easily upload a PDF to almost any destination website or program by clicking "upload" and selecting the PDF file from your computer. These files usually have ". PDF" at the end of the file name. Before , only Microsoft Word could open. However, unlike a PDF, a. The pagination or layout of the text can vary slightly between devices and programs.
The "x" in the extension refers to XML or extensible markup language. These types of files are smaller and less likely to be corrupted than. Images also look better on.
Doc and. You can divide audio files into two broad categories — compressed and uncompressed. Compressed files can be either lossy and lossless. These descriptors have to do with file size and quality.
Lossy audio files include MP3s, which lose some data when they are created, affecting their sound quality. However, the quality loss often isn't significant enough for the average listener to detect. These two formats compress a file without removing data from it.
