First you should make sure that you buy a scanner supported by Ubuntu

Here is a list of supported scanners : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners

A great software that will help you to scan easily and that will make the whole process less complicated is SimpleScan.

It's perfect for beginners and offers basic controls

To use the scanner :

1)  Turn on the scanner and put the document you want to scan.

2)  Run the scanning software from Applicatio > Graphics > < software name >

3)  After the scanning process you can save the scanned image
