It is not uncommon to find stores using manual cash registers to have long lines of customers waiting for the cashier to manually punch the price of each item they buy in the cash register.

Today, Metrologic scanners are used in almost all commercial and industrial establishments to read and decode standard product barcodes. Metrologic scanners can be hand-held, in-counter, or fixed type. They are usually located in cashier counters or other point-of sale locations.

Some Metrologic scanners are cordless and wearable for scanning in inaccessible areas. Laser scan engines for manufacturers of equipment are also available, as well as holographic scanners used in industrial settings.

Metrologic scanners easily connect to computers and normally work with metrologic scanning softwares. Scanning programs can be downloaded online.

Scanners are also used in domestic set-ups. The three-in-one printer scanner fax machine is among the most popular equipment used at home and SOHOs (small office home office).

Architects, engineers, surveyors, and geographers on the other hand use large format scanners. Wide format scanners can scan documents up to two feet in width. Hence, they are also ideal for art historians and archaeologists who need to preserve large documents, maps, drawings and artifacts.

Large format scanners are especially useful in preserving and creating photographic images of antique and indigenous textiles and artifacts before they decay because of time and the elements.

Digital storage and digital printing are becoming the norm for data storage and documentation not just in the archaeological and historical fields but in other avenues of profession as well.

Most wide format scanners are sheet fed or roll fed although giant flat bed scanners are also available. Some scanners can also scan thick objects.

Thick articles can be inserted in carriers for protection and to make sure that the item does not skip on the rollers. Some carriers are transparent on one side with a protective material on the other.
