Datalogic Magellan 1500i Barcode scanner

The Datalogic Magellan 1500i is a high-performance omnidirectional presentation scanner. It is a compact and versatile device designed for fast and efficient barcode scanning at a point of sale, customer service desk, or in a pharmacy.

Here is a summary of its key features and specifications:

Core Performance

• Omnidirectional Scanning: It can read 1D and 2D barcodes from any angle, whether they are printed on a label or displayed on a mobile phone or tablet screen. This allows for fast "sweep scanning."
• Advanced Imaging: The scanner uses a high-performance megapixel sensor and advanced decoding algorithms to capture hard-to-read, truncated, or damaged codes with a first-pass read rate.
• Digimarc Barcode Decoding: It has optional support for Digimarc barcodes, a digital watermark technology that hides codes on product packaging, making it a future-proof solution.
• Scan Speed: It can achieve 1D barcode sweep speeds of up to 1.5 m/s.

Design & Usability

• Compact Footprint: The Magellan 1500i has a very small, stylish design (8 cm x 9 cm footprint), which saves valuable counter space.
• Adaptive Illumination: It uses adaptive LED illumination that is gentle on the eyes and adjusts automatically to optimize for different types of barcodes, reducing eye strain for operators.
• Dual-Mode Operation: The scanner features a built-in accelerometer that allows it to automatically switch from a hands-free "stand mode" to a targeted "handheld mode" when the user picks it up.
• Datalogic's 'Green Spot' Technology: It provides visual good-read feedback directly on the barcode, which is helpful in noisy environments.
• Durable Build: With an IP52 rating, the device is sealed against dust and water splashes and can withstand multiple drops from up to 1.2 meters to concrete.

Versatile Applications

The Magellan 1500i is a popular choice for a variety of industries, including:

• Retail (point of sale, price checking)
• Healthcare (patient bedside care, pharmacy)
• Commercial Services (postal, banking, public administration)
• Kiosks and self-checkout systems.
