Sheet-fed scanners are devices designed to quickly digitize documents by feeding them through a scanning mechanism. Unlike flatbed scanners, which require users to place each document on a glass surface, sheet-fed scanners automatically pull sheets from a tray, making them ideal for scanning multiple pages efficiently. They are commonly used in offices for tasks like archiving, document management, and digitizing paper records. These scanners can handle various paper sizes and types, including standard letter-sized documents and thicker materials. Many sheet-fed scanners also come with features like duplex scanning, which allows for scanning both sides of a page simultaneously, further enhancing productivity.
