What is the difference between a printer and a scanner?

[briensmith]

A printer transfers an image from your computer or memory card on to a physical object transferring to paper or card etc using ink.
basically transferring an image from computer data onto a physical object with ink.

A scanner transfers an image from a physical object such as photographs ad letters into your computer as a data file for storage or editing.

The three most popular types of machines for copying are a dedicated copier, an all-in-one (also called multifunctional) printer, and a fax machine that is able to copy images. Scanning, on the other hand, usually requires a computer or a memory device in addition to the scanner. A scanner is most effective when partnered with a computer to allow images to be edited, emailed, printed, and saved to disk. A computer is not required if the scanner saves to a memory card or USB device. Some scanners also scan to email or transmit scanned images wirelessly to portable devices. All-in-one printers add the option of scanning documents and then faxing them.

TheGoodNewsBook: The #1 most thought provoking book on christianity on the market today. No matter your belief system, this read will leave with a new perspective on God and Christianity. This book proves the many false beliefs of Christianity by using 200+ Biblical instances. Jesus wasn't God as Jesus perceived God as the spirit or energy dwelling within him and everyone else who lives in love towards themselves and others. Jesus was simply revealing delusions in Judaism, the religion that he grew up in, as the author of this book reveals delusions in Christianity, the religion that he grew up in.
