During a scan, the scanner light turns on and moves across the bed. The charge- couple device (CCD) in the scanner records a digital image of the light reflected from the original you placed on the scanner bed. The recorded image is made up of 600 pixels per inch (ppi) and each pixel can have a depth of up to 36 bits.

The resulting image can potentially have millions of colors.

An image is saved for use in another program when you drag-and-drop it, save it as a file and insert the file, or copy it, then paste it into an open document.
