The present invention relates to a scanner device, and more particularly to a scanner that integrates time setting, number of copies, and address setting functions.

A scanner is an image capture device that converts captured images into a digital format that can be displayed, edited, stored, and exported by a computer, such as JPEG, JPG, TIFF, MTIFF, or PDF. Scanners are used in a wide range of applications, such as combining art graphics and photo scanning into documents; scanning printed text into document processing software to avoid re-typing; scanning fax files into library software or word processing software Store in; add images to multimedia, and more. With the popularity and popularity of the Internet in the office environment, it is now common for most people to share a single device between the networks, such as a network scanner device or a printer. The conventional scanner consists of a scanning head, a control circuit and mechanical components. The progressive scanning is performed, and the obtained digital signal is saved in the form of a dot matrix, and then edited into a standard format version for storage using the file editing software. The current scanner is used as a computer external instrumentation device. As an image capture and input device, it must still be displayed, edited, stored and output by other computers, such as scanners for photos, text pages, drawings, art drawings, and photography. Film, Philippine Forest film, even textiles, signage panels, printed board samples and other three-dimensional objects can be used as scanning objects to extract and convert the original lines, graphics, text, photos, plane objects, etc. into a editable format and form by computer.

Up to now, the development of scanners has gone through four stages of development; before and after 1984, the first generation of flatbed scanners was introduced.
