The Datalogic Magellan 8500 (formerly PSC Magellan 8500)
high performance scanner and scanner/scale with the new
OmegaTek Productivity Technology is specifically designed
for high volume retail checkout applications.
Datalogic Magellan 8500 Scanner Scale Highlights
- OmegaTek Productivity Technology is comprised of
hardware and software innovations that significantly
improve scanner performance by increasing the scanning
speed and by improving the first pass read rates on
hard-to-read bar codes.
- SurroundScan virtually eliminates misreads and reduces
ergonomic problems by allowing cashiers the freedom to scan
items in their natural orientation.
What is the new OmegaTek™ Productivity Technology?
OmegaTek Productivity Technology is comprised of hardware
and software innovations that significantly improve scanner
performance by increasing the scanning speed and by
improving the first pass read rates on hard-to-read bar
codes. This yields industry leading scan speeds and
first-pass-read-rates while:
Improving front end checkout productivity by reducing or
eliminating re-scans or no-scans Improving customer service by reducing the time a customer
has to wait in the checkout line
The Datalogic Magellan 8500Ω (formerly PSC Magellan 8500Ω)
also maximizes productivity by using SurroundScan 3D
Scanning™ technology. SurroundScan utilizes the Magellan
8500Ω's breakthrough scan pattern to aggressively read all
six sides of an item while enabling outstanding performance
on truncated and higher density bar codes like RSS.
SurroundScan virtually eliminates misreads and reduces
ergonomic problems by allowing cashiers the freedom to scan
items in their natural orientation.
The Datalogic Magellan 8500 (formerly PSC Magellan 8500)
features a redesigned All-Weighs platter for reducing loss
from shrink stemming from mis-weighing large or over-sized
produce. The All-Weighs platter design is more intuitive to
use and allows produce to be leaned against the vertical
window and platter, away from the counter, for the most
accurate weighing.
The Datalogic Magellan 8500 (formerly PSC Magellan 8500) is
also equipped with PSC's patented FirstStrike advanced
decoding software for reading damaged, wrinkled, and poorly
printed labels. With FirstStrike, labels can be quickly
stitched together by piecing together information captured
by any one of the scan lines. Additionally, FirstStrike uses
some of the most advanced character correlation algorithms
available to reconstruct damaged or missing bar code data.
All of this is done in a split second to speed throughput on
poor quality labels and most importantly, improves first
pass read rates on even tough items like egg cartons.
The Datalogic Magellan 8500 (formerly PSC Magellan 8500) was
designed to make it as flexible as possible. Several
features make the Datalogic Magellan 8500 extremely
versatile including its multi-interface solution. The
multi-interface supports RS232 (single or dual cable),
IBM46XX, and IBM USB host interfaces right out the box and
provides an easy migration path for customer who may need to
change interfaces at some point. Another versatile feature
is the scanner's flash memory, which allows for easy
software upgrades. New decoding capabilities, software based
features, or new symbologies can all be updated in flash
through the scanners auxiliary or host port ensuring
convenient migration and future industry compatibility.
The Datalogic Magellan 8500Ω (formerly PSC Magellan 8500Ω)
can also provide a distinct competitive advantage when its
Productivity Index Reporting™ software and Cashier Training™
software features are implemented. Both tools can provide
valuable information for improving productivity at the
checkout. The Datalogic Magellan 8500Ω also provides an
auxiliary port for handhelds, optional EAS capability, host
diagnostic reporting, and of course, the legendary
reliability and serviceÂability that comes with the Magellan
name.
With the Datalogic Magellan 8500 (formerly PSC Magellan
8500) the legacy continues by combining the newest
technologies and latest innovations with the knowledge and
experience of having built over a million fixed
point-of-sale scanners, which have been installed around the
globe. The result is a new standard in retail point-of-sale
performance, reliability, versatility, and value. The result
is the Datalogic Magellan 8500Ω and nothing beats a
Magellan.
