Frequently Asked Questions
What scanning capabilities does the Datalogic Magellan 9550i offer?
The Magellan 9550i delivers 45% faster scanning than previous-generation Magellan bi-optic scanners and reads both 1D and 2D barcodes from five sides of the checkout counter. It supports all standard linear barcodes including GS1 DataBar, stacked codes like PDF417 and GS1 DataBar Expanded, and 2D codes including QR Code, Data Matrix, and Aztec. The scanner is also GS1 Digital Link ready, making it compatible with modern digital workflows.
Is the Magellan 9550i a drop-in replacement for older Magellan models?
Yes, the Magellan 9550i is designed as a drop-in replacement for earlier Magellan models (93/94/96/99 series) and maintains full form-factor compatibility with the same dimensions and mounting requirements. It uses the same power supplies, cables, and scale displays as previous generations, allowing you to upgrade without replacing your existing infrastructure. This compatibility makes it an ideal choice for retailers looking to modernize their checkout systems while protecting their current investments.
What are the power consumption specifications for the Magellan 9550i?
The Magellan 9550i operates at only 2.6W nominal power consumption during active scanning and 1.7W during idle mode, making it one of the most energy-efficient bi-optic scanners available. It requires a 12 VDC power supply and is designed to reduce overall energy costs in high-volume retail environments. This low power footprint makes it suitable for installations where energy efficiency and thermal management are priorities.
What optional features are available for loss prevention and customer service?
The Magellan 9550i offers an optional Customer Service Scanner (CSS) for omni-mount reading of mobile phones, loyalty cards, and coupons to enhance self-service and cashier efficiency. For loss prevention, it includes integrated EAS support with Checkpoint/Nedap antenna integration and Sensormatic deactivation capabilities, plus an optional All-Weighs scale platter that adds a top surface weighing area for large items. An optional in-bonnet 1 MP USB color camera is also available for AI-ready workflows such as produce recognition and loss prevention monitoring.
What connectivity and interface options does the Magellan 9550i support?
The Magellan 9550i offers multiple connectivity options including USB (COM/OEM/Keyboard), RS-232 (Single/Dual Cable), and auxiliary ports with two USB host connections, remote scale display support, and EAS controller integration. It is compatible with OPOS and JavaPOS systems on both Windows and Linux platforms, and supports remote management tools including diagnostic reporting, WMI, MBeans, and Toshiba Remote Agent.
