Scan a document by calling the scan() method with the desired output path:

$output = $wrapper->scan('/path/to/output.pdf');
echo $output;

Set specific options before scanning using dedicated methods. For example, to specify the scanner, resolution, and color mode:

$output = $wrapper->scanner('MyScanner')->resolution(300)->color('Gray')->scan('/path/to/output.pdf');
echo $output;
