The Magellan 3550HSi scanner offers many of the features that have made the Magellan family of imaging scanners so successful, including seamless 1D and 2D decoding, solid state electronics, image capture, compact size and easy service access for software updates or configuration changes. It also benefits from the advances made in imaging, illumination, processors and software that Datalogic has brought to the multi-plane market with the Magellan 9800i and 9400i scanners.
Improvements in both hardware and software enable a significant reduction in the brightness of the illumination while improving throughput, depth of field, and speed to read. The gentle, unobtrusive illumination reduces both direct and reflected illumination visible to users. This ensures a comfortable work environment and all day productivity. The Magellan 3550HSi scanner also has a larger, more intuitive scan zone, enabling more comfortable and efficient sweep scanning.
What barcode types does the Datalogic M3551 scanner read?
The Datalogic Magellan 3500HSi reads all standard 1D linear codes including GS1 DataBar codes, plus 2D codes such as QR Code, Data Matrix, Aztec Code, and MaxiCode. It also decodes stacked codes including GS1 DataBar Composites, PDF417, and MicroPDF417, making it versatile for retail and warehouse applications. This dual-capability imaging technology enables seamless reading of a wide variety of barcode formats in a single scanner.
Is the Datalogic M3551 suitable for reading damaged or poorly printed barcodes?
Yes, the Magellan 3500HSi is specifically designed to handle hard-to-read barcodes, including truncated (shortened), out-of-spec, and poorly printed codes. The imaging technology duplicates the speed and large field-of-view of laser scanners while expanding imaging capabilities, ensuring outstanding performance even when barcode quality is compromised. This makes it ideal for high-volume retail environments where barcode condition varies.
What are the connectivity options for the M3551 barcode scanner?
The Datalogic M3551 features OEM USB connection with USB cable included for straightforward integration into point-of-sale systems. It also supports multiple interface options including IBM 46xx, RS-232, and keyboard wedge configurations, providing flexibility for various retail and warehouse environments.

Can the Datalogic M3551 operate in different scanning modes?
Yes, the Magellan 3500HSi enables both high-speed sweep scanning and presentation scanning techniques, ensuring maximum productivity and ergonomic ease for cashiers and warehouse operators. This dual-mode capability allows users to choose the scanning method that works best for their workflow, whether they're rapidly processing items or carefully positioning barcodes for reading.
What are the environmental operating conditions for this scanner?
The Datalogic M3551 operates reliably in temperatures from 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F) with humidity levels between 5-95% non-condensing. It provides 25 kV ESD protection and can handle ambient light conditions up to 86,100 lux, making it suitable for bright retail environments. For storage and transport, the scanner tolerates temperatures from -40 to 70°C (-40 to 158°F).
What mounting options are available for the M3551 scanner?
