What is the difference between a copier and a scanner?

In: The Difference Between [Edit categories]

Answer:

You lay a page or photo on a copier - it copies and prints whatever you put on it.

You lay a page or photo on a scanner - it copies the item and sends it to your computer. You can use software to make it look better or resize the image. When you are ready to print it, you send it to your printer. A scanner doesn't print.
