Its 2D imaging technology duplicates the speed and large field-of-view of traditional laser scanners while expanding imaging capabilities for superior performance on damaged or degraded barcodes. This makes it an excellent choice for warehouse and retail environments where barcode quality varies.
What connectivity options does this in-counter scanner support?
The M3551-010300 supports multiple interface connections including RS-232, USB, IBM 46xx, keyboard wedge, and OEM (IBM) USB options. It also features a powered RS-232 auxiliary port for additional flexibility in system integration. This multi-interface capability allows seamless integration with various POS systems and warehouse management platforms available from us.
What are the power requirements and operating temperature range?
The scanner operates on AC input of 90-264 VAC, 47-63 Hz with nominal power consumption of 2.8 watts during operation and 1.8 watts in sleep mode. It functions reliably in operating temperatures from 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F) and can be stored or transported at temperatures between -40 to 70°C (-40 to 158°F). This wide temperature range ensures stable performance in various retail and warehouse environments.
Can the M3551-010300 work with both sweep and presentation scanning techniques?
Yes, the Magellan 3500HSi enables both high-speed sweep scanning and presentation scanning techniques, providing maximum productivity and ergonomic flexibility for operators. This dual-mode capability means users can scan items by moving them across the scanner or by presenting items to the scanner window, accommodating different workflow preferences and reducing operator fatigue.
What mounting and cable options are included with this scanner?
The M3551-010300 is sold as a scanner-only unit, meaning the mount and required cable and/or power accessories are sold separately.
