A barcode reader is considered a direct input device because it captures data directly from a barcode and converts it into a digital format that can be processed by a computer or system. This process occurs in real-time, allowing for immediate data entry without the need for intermediary steps. By scanning barcodes, it eliminates manual data entry errors and enhances efficiency in tracking inventory or processing transactions.
A bar code reader is an input Device. Although they sometimes output a visible light, the purpose is to gather data from a printed code and input that data into your system (computer, Point of Sale, etc.)

Input device
It's 'manual' input. Because someone has to physically 'feed' the cheques though the reader.
The full form of MICR is Magnetis Ink Character Reader.
No, it is an input device as it reads (and does not write)
Yes it is. It reads the barcode, and converts it into a digital signal for the computer to decypher.
Scanners are input devices. They are taking data into a computer, like a photo or text or reading a barcode etc.
A barcode reader is used in input when there is a need to quickly and accurately capture data from barcodes, commonly found on products in retail, inventory management, and logistics. The reader scans the barcode using a laser or camera, converting the visual pattern into a digital signal that is then translated into readable information, such as product details or prices. This technology streamlines data entry, minimizes human error, and enhances efficiency in various applications.

I expect you mean "Is Card reader/writer input or output?". If this is so, it is both an input and output device. Whenever you are trying to categorize a device as Input or Output, think of how it looks from the computer.If the computer is transmitting data to it, it is an Output device.If the computer is receiving data from it, it is an Input device.
