Scanners of today have become much more convenient and available for people to use on the go. It wasn't too long ago that if you wanted a document copied and sent across the country (or world for that matter) it would take at least a few days to reach its destination. Today however, we have the technological capabilities to scan a document wherever we may be and send the copy electronically anywhere in the world in just a matter of seconds.
We see document scanners being used in the real world every day. Store clerks use them to scan bar codes to ring up prices of items. Businesses and corporations use scanners on employee id tags to enter buildings and allow access to certain functions. And airports use them to scan tickets for passengers. They are literally used everywhere but are now becoming available for individuals to use them as well.
So what exactly would someone need a document scanner for? Well, many of us used to use a scanner in the form of a fax machine. These machines were and still are quite big and bulky. It used to be that if you wanted to send a document to someone for whatever reason that you would have to locate someone or some business that had a fax machine to do it. Nowadays, with individual or personal document scanners you can scan the document yourself and send it instantly without having to buy or track down a big fax machine.
Household scanners have been around for awhile, but the new handheld scanners that you can take with you wherever you are, are just starting to catch on. These new scanners are great for the business man or woman who is constantly on the go.
For example, let's say that you have an important document that needs to be signed by a client at a certain time but you are stranded at an airport with no way to get that document to the person before the allotted time. Ten years ago you would have been well out of luck. But today you can take your personal scanner out, scan the document, and then send the file via email or internet where that person can then print the document that you just sent them and sign it well before the deadline.
No matter where you are, so long as you carry your laptop and scanner with you, documents can be scanned and submitted in just a mere fraction of the time it used to take. You can find these scanners at just about any computer store and are sold on the internet as well.
