Digital imaging scanner released by Datalogic

June 20, 2013

Datalogic, providers of retail checkout scanning technology, has announced the availability of the Magellan 9800i scanner-scale, a fully digital, multiplane solution for high volume checkouts.

With digital imagers in all planes, the 9800i reads both 1D and 2D bar codes without requiring item orientation by the cashier, which the company said results in increased throughput at the checkout and an improved shopping experience for consumers.

The Magellan 9800i scanner is also available with a top down reader that scans bar codes placed at the top or around the leading edge of items. Additionally, the scanner can read mobile coupons from a shopper's smartphone, as well as paper coupons and loyalty cards.

For intelligent weight measurement, the Magellan 9800i scanner is equipped with ScaleSentry technology that detects items incorrectly placed outside the weighing area. The system alerts the cashier of discrepancies and will not transmit weight information to the POS until the issue is corrected.

"The landscape of today's customer experience within the retail store is undergoing dramatic change," said Matt Schler, GM and VP of Datalogic's Fixed Retail Unit. "Datalogic is helping to address these changes by introducing the Magellan 9800i scanner and improving the quality of the customer's in-store experience by improving the checkout and providing an easier way for the retailer to interact with the shopper."
