Fixed bar code reader Datalogic Magellan 900i 1D/2D LED Black

The Datalogic Magellan 900i is a compact fixed barcode reader that reliably captures both 1D and 2D codes. Built on 15 years of imaging presentation scanner experience, this model uses LED sensor technology and wired USB connectivity to read barcodes from labels and mobile phone displays. Its small footprint, 2 m cable and 345 g weight make it suitable for retail checkouts, self-checkouts, kiosks and access control points where continuous, fast scanning is required. The scanner has an IP52 rating and is designed for drop resistance to perform in everyday commercial environments.

How to use

Position the Magellan 900i at the checkout or kiosk so the scanning window faces incoming items or mobile phone displays. Connect the scanner via the supplied 2 m USB cable to the host system and allow the host to install any necessary drivers or accept the plug-and-play configuration. Present barcodes to the scanning field; the device will automatically detect and decode 1D and 2D codes at high sweep speed. For unattended installations, mount the unit securely following the retailer’s mounting guidelines and route the cable to prevent accidental disconnection.

Recommendations

The scanner performs best when the barcode is held within the central scanning area and when mobile phone screens are set to sufficient brightness. Regularly clean the scanning window to prevent dust buildup and check cable connections periodically to maintain reliable operation.
