A bar code scanner is an input because it sends data into a computer or other processing device.
There are three important components of a barcode reader. These are the scanner, the decoder and a cable. The decoder may either be seen external or built-in to the device. The cable attaches the reader to a computer by way of various mechanisms such as keyboard or serial port, or a wedge.
