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 can the Datalogic M3551 scanner read?
The Datalogic Magellan 3550HSi reads a comprehensive range of barcode formats including all standard 1D/linear codes, 2D codes such as QR Code, Data Matrix, and Aztec Code, as well as stacked codes including GS1 DataBar variants and PDF417. This broad decoding capability makes it ideal for retail environments where you encounter diverse barcode formats from different suppliers and manufacturers.
Is the Datalogic M3551 suitable for high-volume point-of-sale environments?
Yes, the Magellan 3550HSi is specifically designed for high-volume point-of-sale applications, featuring high-speed imaging technology that duplicates the speed of laser scanners while expanding imaging capabilities. It supports both sweep and presentation scanning techniques, enabling maximum productivity and ergonomic ease even with truncated, out-of-spec, or poorly printed codes.
What connectivity options does the M3551 scanner offer?
The Datalogic M3551 provides flexible connectivity through USB and Keyboard Wedge interfaces, with a 4.5-meter (15-foot) USB Type A cable included. This multi-interface capability allows seamless integration into existing point-of-sale systems and retail environments without requiring specialized adapters or configuration.
What are the environmental operating conditions for this scanner?
The Magellan 3550HSi operates reliably in temperatures from 10 to 40°C (50 to 104°F) and maintains performance in humidity levels between 5-95% non-condensing. It features 25kV ESD protection and can handle ambient light conditions up to 86,080 lux, making it suitable for various retail lighting conditions and warehouse environments.
What is included in the package when I order from Barcodes Inc?
When you order the Datalogic M3551 from us, the package includes the scanner unit, a standard counter mount for in-counter installation, a power brick with cord (EU specification), and a 4.5-meter USB Type A cable. This complete bundle allows you to deploy the scanner immediately in your point-of-sale environment.
How does the M3551 handle difficult-to-read barcodes?
The Magellan 3550HSi features advanced 2D imaging technology with a large field-of-view that enables outstanding performance on hard-to-read barcodes, including truncated codes, out-of-specification codes, and poorly printed labels. The sapphire glass window provides durability and optical clarity for consistent reading performance across challenging barcode conditions commonly found in retail operations.
