Datalogic – Magellan 1500i Presentation Scanner

Achieve more with the smallest presentation scanner

The Magellan 1500i presentation scanner from Datalogic is small in size but packed with performance. It is ideal for a range of applications including retail, point of sale, pharmacy, customer service, self-checkout, and kiosks. Built in a space-saving small physical footprint, the scanner still has a large reading area. Fast sweep scanning of your 1D, 2D and Digimarc barcodes is easy and intuitive, even from poorly printed labels or smartphone screens. The 1500i brings high-end performance to your operation and will adjust the illumination and depth of field to quickly optimize readability. Unlike other presentation scanners on the market, the 1500i performance is unaffected by the plexiglass barriers now required to ensure safety at checkout. This is a top performing scanner that will enable your operators to comfortably work throughout even the longest and toughest of shifts.
