Info scanner

[AntoS]

I would like to write some document scanning program.
I don't know anything about how to manage the scanner via c#, could you tell
me where to see just to begin.

Thanks

Typically you'll be using .Net CF to write the application, and the scanner
that you're using will have a SDK released, hopefully with an interface you
can use in .Net CF to drive the scanner.

Is it a symbol?

First line of call, get the manufacturer's SDK.

forgive me, I'm sitting in the realms of handheld barcode scanners, you're
talking about an image scanner (like a flat bed)?
