DROP-IN REPLACEMENT
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 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?
We offer two scale configurations: a Single Interval Scale with up to 15 kg / 30 lb capacity (0.005 kg / 0.010 lb minimum increment), and a Dual Interval Scale with Range 1 at 0–6.0 kg / 0–15.0 lb (0.002 kg / 0.005 lb increment) and Range 2 at 6.0–15.0 kg / 15.0–30.0 lb (0.005 kg / 0.010 lb increment). An optional All-Weighs Scale Platter is also available for weighing large items that don't fit traditional platters.
Does the Magellan 9550i support loss prevention features?
Yes, the Magellan 9550i includes integrated Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) support with Checkpoint/Nedap EAS antenna integration and Sensormatic deactivation capabilities. An optional 1 MP in-bonnet USB color camera is also available for AI-ready imaging workflows such as produce recognition and loss prevention monitoring.
What connectivity and interface options does the Magellan 9550i offer?
The Magellan 9550i supports multiple interfaces including USB (COM/OEM/Keyboard), RS-232 (Single/Dual Cable), and auxiliary ports for USB host (x2), remote scale display, and EAS controller integration.
