ITPEC IP April 2019 Question 90
ITPEC IP April 2019 — Question 90 of 100
A scanner converts paper documents and blueprints into digital image files. The captured files can then be stored, indexed, shared, and, when appropriate, processed with OCR to extract searchable text.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- a GPS receiver obtains position and time information from navigation satellites
- a digitizer can input coordinates or trace drawings but is not the normal device for capturing complete paper pages as images
- a plotter produces large-format hard-copy output from digital drawings
Key rule: A scanner is paper-to-digital input; a printer or plotter is digital-to-paper output.
