Fixed barcode reader Datalogic MG1501-10250-0200

The Datalogic MG1501-10250-0200 (Magellan 1500i) is a compact fixed barcode reader for 1D and 2D codes designed for retail, point of sale, pharmacy, self-checkout, kiosks and customer service counters. Despite its small footprint it offers a large reading area and fast sweep scanning of 1D, 2D and Digimarc barcodes from printed labels and smartphone screens. The device is available in a durable black finish, supports wired USB connectivity, and is built to withstand daily commercial use with IP52 protection and drop resistance.

Advantages

The MG1501-10250-0200 combines a small physical size with a wide field of view and adaptive illumination that optimizes readability across printed and mobile barcodes. It supports both hands-free stand mode and handheld presentation via an integrated accelerometer, provides visual good-read feedback with Green Spot Technology, and uses 100% LED lighting to reduce flicker and eye strain. The scanner offers robust construction with IP52 ingress protection and resistance to multiple drops, plus flexible mounting options including magnetic and wall mounts.

Suitable for

• Retail and point of sale counters
• Self-checkout stations and kiosks
• Pharmacies and customer service desks

How to use

Place the scanner in stand mode for hands-free sweep scanning or pick it up to enable handheld presentation mode; the built-in accelerometer automatically switches modes. Position the barcode within the reader’s field of view and sweep at a natural speed—high-speed stand operation supports sweep speeds up to 1.5 m/s. The scanner will adjust illumination automatically to optimize contrast for printed or mobile barcodes and will indicate a successful read with the Green Spot visual feedback.

Recommendations

Use the scanner in well-ventilated checkout or kiosk areas and route the USB cable away from the workspace to avoid interference. For prolonged shifts, rely on the adaptive LED illumination to reduce flicker and eye strain and choose a mounting option that matches your workflow (fixed magnetic or wall mount for permanent installations, stand mode for frequent hands-free use).
