Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Datalogic Magellan 9550i compatible with my existing Magellan scanner setup?
Yes, the Magellan 9550i is designed as a drop-in replacement for earlier Magellan models and maintains form-factor compatibility with the 93/94/96/99 series. It uses the same power supplies, cables, and scale displays as previous generations, allowing for seamless integration into your existing retail checkout infrastructure without requiring new accessories or extensive reconfiguration.
What barcode types can the Magellan 9550i scan?
The Magellan 9550i decodes all standard 1D linear barcodes including GS1 DataBar, stacked codes like PDF417 and MicroPDF417, and 2D codes including Aztec, Data Matrix, QR Code, and Micro QR Code. It reads barcodes from five sides with optional Customer Service Scanner (CSS) capability for mobile phones, loyalty cards, and coupons, and is GS1 Digital Link ready for modern digital workflows.
How much power does the Magellan 9550i consume, and what are the environmental operating conditions?
The scanner operates at only 2.6W nominal power consumption (1.7W idle), helping reduce energy costs in retail environments. It functions reliably in operating temperatures from 10 to 40°C (50 to 104°F) with 5% to 95% non-condensing humidity, and includes ESD protection up to 25kV air discharge for durability in busy checkout areas.
What scale options are available with the Magellan 9550i?
The Magellan 9550i offers two scale configurations: a Single Interval Scale with up to 15 kg / 30 lb capacity and 0.005 kg / 0.010 lb minimum increment, or a Dual Interval Scale with Range 1 (0–6.0 kg / 0–15.0 lb at 0.002 kg / 0.005 lb increment) and Range 2 (6.0–15.0 kg / 15.0–30.0 lb at 0.005 kg / 0.010 lb increment). An optional All-Weighs scale platter adds a top surface weighing area for large items.
Does the Magellan 9550i support loss prevention and EAS integration?
Yes, the Magellan 9550i includes integrated Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) support with Checkpoint/Nedap EAS antenna integration and Sensormatic deactivation capabilities. It also features an optional in-bonnet 1 MP USB color camera (1280 x 1280 px) that enables AI-ready workflows for produce recognition and loss prevention applications.
How does the Magellan 9550i improve scanning performance compared to earlier models?
The Magellan 9550i delivers 45% faster 1D and 2D barcode scanning compared to previous-generation Magellan bi-optic scanners, enhancing checkout speed and efficiency. Combined with its low 2.6W power consumption and support for advanced digital link standards, it provides next-generation performance while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy retail infrastructure available from us at Barcodes Inc.
