\"Datalogic<\/a>The Datalogic Magellan 3300HSi<\/a> high performance omni-directional barcode scanner<\/a> is the latest imaging-based scanner from Datalogic. Accompanying the recently announced Magellan 3200VSi scanner<\/a>, the Magellan 3300HSi scanner is the world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first single plane in-counter barcode scanner<\/a> to use imaging technology. The result is a bar code scanner that leverages the reading performance of laser barcode scanners<\/a> with added benefits, including the ability to read two-dimensional (2-D) bar code symbologies.<\/p>\n

The Magellan 3300HSi scanner uses new imaging technology and software developed by Datalogic to considerably improve the scanner\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first pass read rates on hard-to-read bar codes, such as truncated codes and GS1 DataBar codes. This yields a performance gain for the retailer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s point-of-sale system by increasing operational efficiency while ensuring faster and better customer service.<\/p>\n

Imaging technology significantly enhances the reliability of the Magellan 3300HSi scanner by using a solid-state design. By eliminating the need for high-speed motors and laser diodes, the Magellan 3300HSi scanner has an improved mean-time-between-failure (MTBF) rate, which reflects in an improvement in the retailer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).<\/p>\n

The Magellan 3300HSi scanner adds new features not found on any other single plane scanners such as the ability to capture images and manage software upgrades and changes using a Micro-SD card. This scanner also has the ability to read bar codes on mobile phones, which is essential for retailers looking to participate in mobile marketing.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Emerging applications requiring more data in smaller spaces is resulting in the need for retailers to scan 2D bar code symbologies such as DataMatrix, QR and Aztec codes. The capability to read these 2D symbologies is a field upgradeable feature that can be added to the Magellan 3300HSi scanner prior to the initial installation or as the retailer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s requirements evolve. This protects the retailer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s initial investment and extends the life of the scanner\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, stated Matt Schler, Vice President and General Manager of Fixed Scanning Products.<\/p>\n

Leveraging over 35 years of retail experience, Datalogic Scanning designed the Magellan 3300HSi scanner for the retail market segment to cover diverse sub segments including:<\/p>\n
