The Magellan 1100i imager represents the second generation offering of the world’s first imaging based presentation scanner, delivering the same high performance, reliability and value.

The Magellan 1100i reader is designed in a compact form factor with the latest solid state electronics and innovative imaging technology, that allows it to scan the most challenging bar codes across all retail checkout environments. 

A major perk of the advanced technology is the aggressive data collection of 1D and 2D bar codes with the ability to be used as either a presentation or sweep mode reader. The Magellan 1100i has the ability to read almost any bar code and its small footprint, makes it a natural fit for scanning applications in convenience, specialty and pharmaceutical stores.

Emerging trends in retail mobile commerce require the use of e-coupons, admission tickets and boarding passes presented on the displays of cell phones or PDAs. The Magellan 1100i imager is compatible with the Datalogic Illumix intelligent illumination technology, with the ability to read bar codes from backlit displays found in mobile phones, PDAs and PDTs. This feature not only supports fast paced consumer lifestyles, but also 'green' initiatives to go paperless.

For the first time, the Datalogic’s patented ‘Green Spot’ technology is available on the Megellan 1100i. In noisy workspaces, it can prove to be difficult to hear the 'beep' of a scan - the Green Spot technology provides additional visual good read feedback to the user.

Heinrich von Solms, iData Distribution Managing Director said, “Datalogic continues to offer value to our channel partners with scanning  products that exceed their data capture needs  today, while anticipating the demands of the marketplace in the future.”
