At what level are Spell Scrolls used?
$begingroup$
I look for information that I have not found in the PHB or in the DMG. With what level are the spells of a scroll cast?
Example: a level 20 wizard with a scroll of Magic Missile. At what level does he cast the spell on the scroll?
In what section or page does the rule that explains it appear?

Spells cast from magic items are cast at their lowest level
Whenever a magic item allows you to cast a spell, unless it specifically says otherwise, it's cast at its lowest level. This is explained in the Dungeon Master's Guide, in the chapter Magic items, in the sub-section Activating an Item:
Some magic items allow the user to cast a spell from the item, often by expending charges from it. The spell is cast at the lowest possible spell and caster level, doesn't expend any of the user's spell slots, and requires no components.

Scrolls are defined by the spell they contain. If they contain a 1st-level spell (like Magic Missile), then they are a Spell Scroll (level 1).
From the DMG (page 141) or online:
Some magic items allow the user to cast a spell from
the item. The spell is cast at the lowest possible spell
level, doesn't expend any of the user's spell slots, and
requires no components, unless the item's description
says otherwise. The spell uses its normal casting time,
range, and duration, and the user of the item must
concentrate if the spell requires concentration.
You can also find info on Scrolls on DMG (page 139), or more specifically on DMG (page 200). On-line resources are here:
If the spell is on your class’s spell list, you can read the scroll and cast its spell without providing any material Components. [...] The level of the spell on the scroll determines the spell’s saving throw DC and Attack bonus, as well as the scroll’s rarity, as shown in the Spell Scroll table.
