It has a computer processor, a scan head and an output device. The scan head is used to read images which in turn is translated by the computer and produced in a usable form. For example, a scanner is used to read invoices that have been returned with the payment checks by a direct-mail marketer. The code on the invoice is picked up by the scanner that indicates how much was owed and which customer is paying. It is a multipurpose tool that is used in the office. It reads the images as thousands of individual pixels or dots. The scanner does all this with the help of scanning software. The file which has the images then can be used to enlarge, reduce or store databases. It can also be transferred into an excel worksheet or a word document. http://advice-and.info/Computers-and-Technology/79496_Scanner_Features_And_Review.html Thu, 28 Feb 2008 11:44:37 GMT Multifunction printers are the best for small offices and or the home.

As regards the speed the printer might prove to be too slow for professional use. This is especially so in the case of colour printers.
