This sort of device usually does come with a USB connection and USB socket could be located at the back of your computer (they may also be located elsewhere on the computer). However modern Printer/Scanners are usually connected wirelessly using the services of your WiFi LAN. This makes them available to more than just one computer.

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.
