Sheet-fed scanners typically include a stand that allows the document to be scanned to be fed into the scanning position along a horizontal path or an inclined path. The scanner includes a housing, a sheet feeder, a scanning module, an actuator, and a calibration sheet. Although sheet-fed scanners have the advantage of being smaller in size, the drawbacks will outweigh this advantage.

Small sheetfed scanners are available for as little as $200. Sheetfed scanners are ideal for business cards, handwritten notes, letters, and photos. The sheetfed scanner allows you to scan, fax and copy. There are many ways that documents can be fed into the scanner. By resting the sheetfed scanner on the sides of the main body, you can feed the document from different positions: when resting on the base plate, it allows horizontal feeding. input and output of the document; when on the first inclined side the inclination is such that it allows an upper entry and a lower exit; and when supported by the second sloped side, that allows for a sloped bottom entry and a sloped top exit. Most inexpensive sheet-fed scanners are designed for black-and-white work, although newer models can work in color. You can find sheetfed scanners that plug into your computer’s port. The disadvantages of sheetfed scanners are that they generally cannot produce the image quality that flatbed scanners can. Mainly because they are trying to hit a moving target: a sheet of paper traveling on rollers. Unfortunately, not all documents will feed through a sheet-fed scanner, and each sheet must be fed one at a time. Feeding page after page into sheetfed scanners can get quite tedious.
