Answer:
mainly there are 4 types of scanner..
Flatbed Scanners
The type of image scanning device you'll see most often around the office is a flatbed scanner. This looks just like the work surface of a photocopier, where you put the page to be copied, and that's pretty much what a flatbed scanner is. You can also use them to scan thick original items, like books or magazines, as well as single pages.
Most printer manufacturers offer multifunction laser or inkjet printers with scanning ability built in, so you don't need to make space for a separate scanner that might not see a lot of use. Multifunction printers give you the additional perk of acting as a copier or sometimes a fax machine, as well as printing and scanning. That makes them a good option in a small office, where a "jack of all trades" device is often more practical than buying several separate machines.

Four Types of Scanners
by Fred Decker; Updated August 03, 2018
Desktop scanners can be standalone, or integrated with printers, fax machines and photocopiers.
As long as offices use both digital files and hard-copy documents, you'll need ways to change your images and pages back and forth between the two. To make a digital file into a physical document, you print it. When you want to go the other way, and turn a physical page or photo into a digital file, you need to use a scanner. There are lots of different image scanning devices, but they break down into a handful of basic styles.

Sheet-Fed Scanners
Flatbed scanners are simple and easy to use, but they're really only meant for scanning one page at a time. If you're scanning a longer document, doing one page at a time gets old in a hurry. Even worse, you're paying someone's wages while they scan all of those single pages. If multipage documents are a frequent part of doing business, you might be better off with a sheet-fed scanner. This type has an input tray holding anywhere from a handful of pages to dozens, and feeds them through in much the same way paper feeds through a printer. Some models even offer duplex printing, meaning they'll scan both sides of a double-sided document at the same time. That can be a serious time-saver.
Large-Format Scanners
Flatbed scanners and sheet-fed scanners are both versatile business machines, but they're usually pretty limited in the sizes they can scan. Usually, if you routinely need to scan anything larger than a legal sized document, you're out of luck. If you work with larger pages in your business – such as blueprints, architectural drawings or posters – you'll need to get a large-format scanner. These rather resemble a musician's electronic piano, with a flat scanning mechanism mounted atop a stand that brings it up to desk height. To use it, you slide your oversized original into the scanner until the rollers grip it and position it for scanning. From there, it works much like a jumbo sheet-fed scanner, with the document sliding through the scanning mechanism and coming out the other side.
Special-Purpose Scanners
Depending on your business, you may find that one or another special-purpose image scanning device makes your life simpler. If you're in sales, for example, investing in a business card scanner can speed and simplify the task of turning dozens – or hundreds – of newly acquired business cards into JPGs on your computer.
