flatbed scanner
Glass-topped image copier
A flatbed scanner is a device that digitizes documents or images by passing a light sensor across material placed face-down on a glass surface.
The flat glass bed distinguishes it from sheet-fed scanners that pull paper through rollers.
Flatbeds handle books, photographs, and fragile items that can't be fed through a mechanism.
