Magellan 9550i utilizes the same form-factor as our other Magellan bi-optics and is a simple drop-in replacement for any of the previous generation products. Additionally the 9550i uses the same power supply, scale display, and interface cables as 93/94/96/99 making stocking accessories easier.
SUPPORT TO LOSS PREVENTION
The 9550i includes the All-Weighs platter design for weighing accuracy as well as an optional in-bonnet USB color camera that supports AI workflows when paired with an external PC.
ENTERPRISE FEATURES
Remote Management is supported for OPOS, JavaPOS on Windows or Linux-based systems.
Is the Datalogic Magellan 9550i compatible with my existing checkout system?
Yes, the Magellan 9550i is designed as a drop-in replacement for earlier Magellan models and maintains full compatibility with previous 93/94/96/99 series infrastructure. It uses the same power supplies, cables, and scale displays, allowing for seamless integration without requiring system modifications. Contact us today to verify compatibility with your specific POS configuration.
What barcode formats does the Magellan 9550i scanner read?
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 also features GS1 Digital Link ready capability for modern digital workflows. The scanner reads codes from five sides plus an optional Customer Service Scanner for mobile phones and loyalty cards.
How much power does the Magellan 9550i consume?
The Magellan 9550i operates at just 2.6W nominal power consumption and 1.7W when idle, making it one of the most energy-efficient bi-optic scanners available for retail environments. This low power footprint reduces operational costs while maintaining high-performance 1D and 2D scanning speeds that are 45% faster than previous-generation Magellan models.
Can the Magellan 9550i be used in high-humidity or temperature-variable retail environments?
Yes, the Magellan 9550i is engineered for demanding retail conditions with an operating temperature range of 10–40°C (50–104°F) and humidity tolerance of 5–95% non-condensing. It also features 25kV ESD protection for durability in high-traffic checkout areas. We offer this scanner with a standard 1-year factory warranty and optional EASEOFCARE service plans for extended coverage.
What connectivity options are available for the Magellan 9550i?
The Magellan 9550i supports multiple interface options including USB (COM/OEM/Keyboard), RS-232 (Single/Dual Cable), and auxiliary ports for USB host connections, remote scale display, and EAS controller integration. It is compatible with OPOS and JavaPOS systems on Windows and Linux platforms, and includes free Aladdin configuration utility and POS integration tools available from us.
Does the Magellan 9550i support loss prevention features?
Yes, the Magellan 9550i includes integrated loss prevention capabilities such as an All-Weighs scale platter for weighing large items and built-in support for Checkpoint/Nedap EAS antenna integration plus Sensormatic deactivation. An optional 1 MP in-bonnet USB color camera enables AI-ready imaging workflows for produce recognition and advanced loss prevention analytics. Visit barcodesinc.com to explore these options.
