Sorry, Scanner Could Not Be Initialized What Is A Digital Scanner, Is It Different From An Ordinary Scanner?

What is a digital scanner, is it different from an ordinary scanner? - sorry, scanner could not be initialized

I maintain an online application that requires a digital photo. They say it takes so that you do not, I scan my pictures with a digital scanner. I have an HP Scanjet scanner. I know it's a stupid question, and I think the flatbed scanners are digital scanners. Am I right or wrong. I only want to see my picture and I have a digital photo with a digital scanner at all.

Sorry for this very confusing. I hope someone can help me.

Thank you in advance.
