Barcode-module Datalogic Magellan 1500i, 1D/2D-scanner, bedraad RS-232/USB, IP52, wit, 5 V, 60×75 mm, 240 g

The Magellan 1500i from Datalogic is a compact, high-performance barcode module designed for retail POS, pharmacy and customer service environments. It supports fast decoding of both 1D and 2D barcodes from printed labels and mobile screens, and includes Digimarc® Barcodes watermark decoding for additional code recognition capability.

Advantages

The Magellan 1500i offers reliable omnidirectional reading of linear 1D barcodes including GS1 DataBar Expanded and Omnidirectional, as well as robust decoding of 2D codes such as QR, MaxiCode, Data Matrix and Aztec. Its compact footprint (60 × 75 mm), light weight (240 g) and white housing allow easy integration into point-of-sale and service counters. Wired RS-232 and USB connectivity provide stable communication and the IP52 rating gives basic protection against dust and splashes.

How to use

Install the Magellan 1500i module into the desired housing or countertop cutout with the specified 60 × 75 mm footprint, secure connections to the host system via RS-232 or USB and supply 5 V power. Aim the scanner window toward the area where labels or mobile device screens will be presented. Present barcodes to the scanner at a steady speed and angle to allow the onboard decoder to read omnidirectional 1D codes and matrix 2D codes. Follow the host system’s configuration utility to adjust symbology settings and communication parameters if required.

Recommendations

For consistent scanning performance, keep the scanner window clean and avoid strong direct sunlight on the read zone. Use the host configuration tool to enable or disable specific symbologies (for example GS1 DataBar variants or Digimarc®) according to your application to reduce decoding time and prevent unwanted reads.
