Scanners are input devices. They take the data from text or photos and convert it to information the computer can use. Scanners are often a part of combination devices that include printers, and printers are output devices. The scanner portion sends what is on the page to the computer, and the printer portion takes what is in the computer and provides output in the form of a printed page.

Is a copier an input or output peripheral device?

A copier is neither an input device nor an output device because it need not be connected to a computer and usually is not. A Printer, which may also be used as a copier, is an output peripheral device. A Scanner, which feeds data to a computer, is an input peripheral device. Modern digital copiers use scanners as their "front ends". The scanner is then an input device to a copier.


Can scanner be used as an input or output device?

Scanners can only be used as an input device. They scan the image placed inside/ontop and digitalise it and display it on your computer screen. The only type of scanner that can output is an "all-in-one" scanner/printer that can print out the images you scan in or other images from your PC, but that is not technically a scanner, it is a scanner, printer combination. So no, Scanners can only be used as input devices.
