No, a bar code scanner is not a storage device. The scanner is a peripheral device used to read the bar code on a product, and an associated computer can use that information to identify that product and provide pricing and other information about it. That identifying information and other data is held on a storage device associated with the computer.

Scanner is output or input device?

A scanner captures physical documents or images and converts them into digital format, which is then sent to a computer or other device for processing, editing, or storage. Since the scanner is providing data to the computer, it is classified as an input device. Output devices, such as printers or monitors, are used to display or produce results from a computer—like printed documents or visual displays. In contrast, scanners bring data into the computer system, which is the defining function of an input device. So, a scanner is clearly an input device because it feeds information into the computer rather than receiving it.
