Product Features
Technical Overview
At its core, the Magellan 1500i utilizes a high-performance imager sensor capable of reading both 1D and 2D barcodes. It autodiscriminates all standard 1D linear codes, including GS1 DataBar™, and supports a wide array of 2D symbologies such as Aztec Code, Data Matrix, MaxiCode, QR Code, and numerous international postal codes. Optional support for Digimarc® Barcodes/GS1 DW Code is available for digital watermarking applications.
The scanner operates effectively at a scanning distance of 11.81 inches (300 mm) and maintains high accuracy with generous reading angles: 75° skew, 65° pitch, and 360° roll. It requires a minimum print contrast of 25% and can function in bright environments up to 86100 lux of ambient light.
