Scanning is turning a physical image, typically on paper, into a computer graphic. The image can be anything visible; a picture, a text or a photograph.

TroubleShooting
If your scanner can only be accessed from the user root, change the permissions of your scanner:
sudo chmod 777 -R /dev/bus/usb/*
