Which are the input devices that enable direct data entry into a computer system from source documents?

  • A.Data Scanning devices
  • B.Data retrieving devices
  • C.Data acquiring devices
  • D.System Access devices

Answer: A

Correct answer: Data Scanning devices

Data scanning devices read the source document itself, so the data never has to be transcribed - optical mark readers, optical character readers, bar code readers and magnetic ink character readers all belong to the class.

The gain is accuracy as much as speed: manual keying introduces errors at a rate that matters when the volume is large, and reading the original removes that step entirely. The other three options are not established categories.
