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.
