The Premier Productivity Tool For High
Volume POS
The Magellan 8500 is the highest performing
scanner/scanner-scale available for large volume
point-of-sale applications. It is the first scanner to
use PSC's new, ground breaking SurroundScan technology
to aggressively scan all 6 sides of an item. Competitive
dual-plane scanners can only read 4 or 5 sides at once
but the Magellan 8500 can simultaneously read the
bottom, top, and all four sides of store items. With
SurroundScan, a bar code in virtually any orientation
can be read with the first pass. It has never been
easier, faster, or more ergonomic to scan at the POS!
The Magellan 8500 also incorporates
FirstStrike™, PSC's most advanced decoding software. It
enables the reading of torn, poorly printed, and
disfigured labels of all types. FirstStrike also
supports all of the most popular symbologies, including
Reduced Space Symbology (RSS) and is able to
autodiscriminate all supported symbologies for added
flexibility.
Smart Technology For Your Business
The Magellan 8500 has a powered auxiliary RS232 port for
integrating a PSC handheld scanner for those large or
heavy items that are often left in the shopping cart.
This port can also be used to update the scanner's
software in flash memory. Additionally, the Magellan
8500 can be equipped for full electronic article
surveillance (EAS) functionality, including Interlock,
for one step scanning and security tag deactivation.
To add even more value to the POS
environment, the Magellan 8500 features optional
productivity enhancement software. One application,
Productivity Index Reporting™ (PIR), will automatically
monitor the bar codes being scanned and will alert
management to items that are consistently slowing down
the checkout process. Another application, Cashier
Training™, is designed to teach user's faster, more
ergonomic scanning techniques.
Seamless Integration
Since the Magellan 8500 is from PSC you can count on
easy installation and years of worry free operation. The
Magellan 8500 has the same footprint as the original
Magellan SL® (20.0” x 11.5” / 50.8 x 29.2 cm) so it will
integrate easily into both new and existing
point-of-sale configurations. It also supports all of
the most popular host terminal interfaces right out of
the box, including RS232, IBM 46XX, and IBM Power Plus
USB. In addition, the Magellan 8500 is compatible with
OPOS and JavaPOS systems allowing for even greater
installation flexibility at the point-of-sale.
