Are fax machines both input and output devices?

Answer 1

Yes it is. When you send a file through fax, you need to input a document then it will send as a clone copy of the file that you inputted. The output process is when the data receive and printed out.

Answer 2

Yes, it has two inputs. First is the scanner it used to scan the paper document you want to transmit. Second is the telephone line that carries the signal from the other FAX machine (or computer) to your fax machine for printing. It also has two outputs, the printer for printing a fax, and the telephone line for sending a fax to another fax machine.

Answer 3

a fax machine is an output device because it is able to receive and print off a fax.

(it is also an input device because it is able to scan and send a fax to elsewhere)

As a side example, a photocopier is also both an output device and an input device, while a printer is only an output device and a scanner is only an input device.

Answer 4

Yes it inputs data through parallel port or usb to the computer system itself interfacing with the software provided.
