A personal I/O device incorporates a scanner and a printer apparatus in a common assembly with a document drive designed to feed a single document or blank sheet past both the scanner and the printer apparatus. The I/O device comprises control circuitry for driving and coordinating the document drive with the scanner and the printer apparatus, and communication apparatus for communicating with a remote computer host. In one embodiment the device comprises a platen with retaining mechanisms for holding a document in place while the platen is moved by the scanner and the printer apparatus. The device in some embodiments is integrated with a computer in a common enclosure, in others with a monitor stand, and in others provides a stand-alone configuration. The device provides a small, relatively inexpensive, and compact package which may be placed at a user's computer workstation.
