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 (93/94/96/99 series) and maintains full form-factor compatibility. It uses the same power supplies, cables, and scale displays as previous generations, allowing seamless integration into your existing retail checkout infrastructure without requiring new accessories or extensive reconfiguration.
What barcode types can the Magellan 9550i read?
The Magellan 9550i decodes all standard 1D linear barcodes including GS1 DataBar, stacked codes like PDF417 and GS1 DataBar Expanded, and 2D codes including QR Code, Data Matrix, Aztec, and Micro QR Code. It also features GS1 Digital Link ready support for modern digital workflows and reads codes from five sides of coverage.
How much faster is the Magellan 9550i compared to previous Magellan scanners?
The Magellan 9550i delivers 45% faster scanning performance than previous-generation Magellan bi-optic scanners, significantly improving checkout speed and throughput in high-volume retail environments. This performance boost is paired with low power consumption of just 2.6W nominal operation, reducing energy costs.
What scale options are available with the Magellan 9550i?
