In computing, an image scanner—often abbreviated to just scanner, although the term is ambiguous out of context (barcode scanner, CAT scanner etc)—is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting or an object and converts it to a digital image.

Commonly used in offices are variations of the desktop flatbed scanner where the document is placed on a glass window for scanning.

Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Mechanically driven scanners that move the document are typically used for large-format documents, where a flatbed design would be impractical.

In computing, a printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human-readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media.

A photocopier (also known as a copier or copy machine) is a machine that makes paper copies of documents and other visual images quickly and cheaply.

Most current photocopiers use a technology called xerography, a dry process that uses electrostatic charges on a light-sensitive photoreceptor to first attract and then transfer toner particles (a powder) onto paper in the form of an image.

Heat, pressure or a combination of both is then used to fuse the toner onto the paper.

(Copiers can also use other technologies such as ink jet, but xerography is standard for office copying) Earlier versions included the Gestetner stencil duplicator, invented by David Gestetner in 1881.

Information technology (IT) is the application of computers to store, study, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate data, or information, often in the context of a business or other enterprise.

IT is considered a subset of information and communications technology (ICT).

In 2012, Zuppo proposed an ICT hierarchy where each hierarchy level "contain[s] some degree of commonality in that they are related to technologies that facilitate the transfer of information and various types of electronically mediated communications.".

The ampere (SI unit symbol: A, dimension symbol: I), often shortened to "amp", is a unit of electric current.

In the International System of Units (SI) the ampere is one of the seven SI base units.

It is named after André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), French mathematician and physicist, considered the father of electrodynamics.
