A flatbed scanner that is connected to a laptop is used to convert photographic prints to digital images for reproduction on a color printer. Which of the following is considered the input device for this process?
An input device is a hardware component that allows users to enter data or commands into a computer system. A flatbed scanner is an input device that scans documents or images and converts them into digital data that can be stored, edited, or printed. A flatbed scanner is connected to a laptop via a peripheral device interface, such as USB or Bluetooth. A laptop hard drive, a laptop keyboard, and a color printer are not input devices, but storage, input, and output devices respectively. Photographic prints are not devices at all, but physical objects that can be scanned by an input device.
