Datalogic's Magellan 1500i scanner is a high performance presentation scanner for a variety of applications including retail point of sale, pharmacy and customer service. The Magellan 1500i pairs imaging scanning expertise developed for our larger scanners with an innovative, compact design to create the most powerful presentation scanner on the market. The addition of Digimarc Barcode decoding makes the Magellan 1500i scanner uniquely capable of handling both current and future scanning needs.
The Magellan 1500i uses a high performance megapixel sensor and custom optics to create a large reading area capable of reading at distances up to 25 cm and with 1D sweep speeds up to 1.5 m/s. Powerful decoding algorithms provide unmatched performance on a variety of 1D and 2D labels, including hard-to-read, truncated and damaged codes. The large reading area and sweep performance of the Magellan 1500i scanner makes scanning easy and intuitive even for novice users.
The consistent, comfortable illumination enables seamless reading of 1D and 2D bar codes from printed or mobile sources while reducing reflection and eliminating flickering that can cause operator discomfort.
Datalogic's Motionix™ motion-sensing technology enables the scanner to intuitively switch into hand held mode when the device is picked up. This turns on an LED aimer, while 'Green Spot' technology provides good-read confirmation directly on the code. When placed back on the counter, the scanner seamlessly returns to stand mode.
With its small footprint and attractive design, the Magellan 1500i scanner compliments any point of sale or service environment. Classic black and white enclosures pair with a variety of mounting options to make this a versatile, powerful product in an attractive, compact package.
The Magellan 1500i seamlessly reads both 1D and 2D barcodes, whether printed on labels or displayed on mobile devices like phones, tablets, and laptops. With optional Digimarc® Barcode decoding, it can also capture advanced barcode formats used in modern retail and logistics applications. This omnidirectional imaging capability makes it ideal for scanning product labels, mobile coupons, loyalty cards, tickets, and boarding passes.
Yes, the Magellan 1500i is designed for both hands-free and handheld operations. It features motion sensing technology that automatically switches the device into handheld mode when picked up, then returns to presentation mode when placed back on the counter. This versatility makes it perfect for retail environments where flexibility between fixed-mount and handheld scanning is needed.
This model includes a USB Type A connection with a 4.5-meter (15-foot) cable and comes with a wall mount for easy installation. Available interfaces also include RS-232 or OEM options depending on your system requirements. The USB connectivity ensures compatibility with most modern point-of-sale and warehouse management systems.
The Magellan 1500i uses Datalogic's advanced digital imaging technology with subtle, adaptive illumination that automatically optimizes light levels for superior performance in varying conditions. The recessed LED aimer provides precision scanning for small items or price look-up (PLU) lists, and the imaging technology eliminates moving parts for improved reliability. This design enables both sweep and presentation scanning techniques with excellent motion tolerance.
Yes, the Magellan 1500i is Checkpoint® Systems EAS and Interlock compatible, making it suitable for retail environments that use electronic article surveillance systems. This integration allows the scanner to work seamlessly with existing security infrastructure without requiring separate equipment.
The compact, ergonomic design and omnidirectional scanning capability make the Magellan 1500i ideal for fast-paced warehouse and logistics environments where both 1D and 2D barcode reading is essential. Its aggressive imaging performance reduces scanning time, while Datalogic's 'Green Spot' technology provides immediate good-read feedback to operators.
