Abstract
An integrated input/output device includes a substrate having a pair of opposite surfaces, and an input function unit is defined on one of the pair of opposite surfaces and an output function unit is defined on the other of the pair of opposite surfaces. In the preferred embodiment, a reading unit for optically reading an original document and a thermal printhead for recording an image on recording paper are defined on opposite surfaces of the same substrate. Such an integrated input/output device is compact in size, thereby contributing to minimize its space requirement for installation, and sturdy in structure.
