1 Drum scanners are used by the publishing industry to capture incredibly detailed images. 2  They use a technology called a photomultiplier tube (PMT). 3  In PMT, the document to be scanned is mounted on a glass cylinder. 4  At the center of the cylinder is a sensor that splits light bounced from the document into three beams. Flatbed scanners, also called desktop scanners, are the most versatile and commonly used scanners. 2  In fact, this article will focus on the technology as it relates to flatbed scanners. 3  Sheet-fed scanners are similar to flatbed scanners except the document is moved and the scan head is immobile.
