scanned-in

Fed through scanner

Scanned-in describes a document, image, or other physical item that has been digitized using a scanner.

The term functions as a compound adjective modifying what was originally on paper or film and now exists as a digital file: The scanned-in receipts are stored in the cloud.

It emphasizes the conversion process rather than the resulting format, distinguishing items that began as physical objects from those created digitally.
