ON-COUNTER HIGH PERFORMANCE BAR CODE READER The Magellan™ 3400VSi series of scanners continue the Datalogic tradition of high performance imaging for the highvolume point-of-sale. By duplicating the speed and large field-of-view of laser scanners and expanding the capabilities of imaging, the 3400VSi scanners provide outstanding performance on hard-toread bar codes and seamless reading of a wide variety of bar codes. This Magellan scanner enables both high speed sweep and presentation scanning techniques, ensuring maximum productivity and ergonomic ease, even with truncated (shortened), out-of-spec or poorly printed codes.
ENHANCING THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE The optional Magellan Customer Service Scanner (CSS) enables retailers to easily engage their customers in mobile commerce programs, allowing them to scan bar codes from mobile phone screens or paper coupons while the cashier continues to scan regular items in parallel, resulting in a significant reduction in total transaction time.
ENTERPRISE FEATURES Remote Management is supported for OPOS, JavaPOS, Toshiba Remote Management with IBM Systems Director® and Wavelink® Avalanche®. Additional capabilities are available with the Value Added Features included in every Magellan scanner.
What barcode types does the Datalogic M3450 scanner read?
The Datalogic M3450 Magellan 3400VSi reads both 1D linear codes (including GS1 DataBar) and 2D codes such as QR Code, Data Matrix, Aztec Code, and MaxiCode. It also decodes stacked codes including PDF417, MicroPDF417, and GS1 DataBar Composites, making it versatile for retail and logistics applications. This imaging technology enables reliable reading of truncated, out-of-spec, and poorly printed codes that traditional laser scanners struggle with.
Is the Datalogic M3450 suitable for high-volume point-of-sale environments?
Yes, the M3450 is specifically designed for high-volume point-of-sale operations and continues Datalogic's tradition of high-performance imaging for retail. It supports both high-speed sweep scanning and presentation scanning techniques, ensuring maximum productivity and ergonomic ease even during extended checkout periods. The scanner's large field of view and speed match or exceed traditional laser scanner performance.
What connectivity options are available with the M3450 scanner?
The M3450 connects via RS-232 serial connection with a 4.5m/15ft extended power cable included in the package. It supports multiple interface options including IBM 46xx, Keyboard Wedge, OEM USB, and powered RS-232 auxiliary ports, providing flexibility for integration with various POS systems and retail environments. Contact us today to confirm compatibility with your specific system configuration.
What environmental conditions can the Datalogic M3450 withstand?
The M3450 operates reliably in ambient light conditions from 0 to 86,100 lux and maintains functionality in humidity levels of 5-95% (non-condensing). It operates in temperatures from 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F) and includes 25 kV ESD air discharge protection, making it durable for demanding retail and warehouse environments. The scanner consumes only 2.8 watts nominally, with a maximum of 9.9 watts during operation.
What's included in the Datalogic M3450 package?
The M3450 package includes the scanner unit, a counter/wall mount for flexible installation, a power brick with cord (EU specification), and a 4.5m/15ft RS-232 serial extension cable. The compact design measures 15.2 x 15.2 x 8.7 cm and weighs only 0.79 kg, making it easy to install in tight counter spaces.

How does the M3450's imaging technology compare to laser scanners?
The M3450 uses a 1280 x 1024 imager sensor with multiple diffused 625nm LED illumination to duplicate the speed and large field-of-view of laser scanners while expanding capabilities for 2D codes and damaged barcodes. Unlike laser scanners, the imaging technology excels at reading truncated, out-of-spec, and poorly printed codes, providing superior performance on challenging barcode conditions common in retail and logistics. This makes it ideal for high-volume environments where barcode quality varies.
