ITPEC IP April 2024 Question 88
ITPEC IP April 2024 — Question 88 of 100
A scanner converts paper documents and paper blueprints into digital image files. It optically reads the surface of a document and produces raster data that can be stored, distributed, archived, or processed with OCR. Large-format scanners can handle engineering drawings and oversized blueprints for company-wide electronic access.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- (a) GPS receiver calculates position from satellite signals
- (c) Digitizer commonly captures coordinates from manually traced drawings or physical input rather than scanning the complete paper image
- (d) Plotter is an output device that produces large drawings on paper
Key rule: A scanner performs paper-to-digital image input; a plotter performs the opposite direction by producing large-format hard copy.
