The Magellan 8500 is the first scanner to use PSC's new, ground breaking SurroundScan technology to aggressively scan 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.
The Magellan 8500 also incorporates FirstStrikeTM, 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 and is able to autodiscriminate all supported symbologies for added flexibility.
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 ReportingTM (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 TrainingTM, is designed to teach user's faster, more ergonomic scanning techniques.
The Magellan 8500 is compatible with OPOS and JavaPOS systems allowing for even greater installation flexibility at the point-of-sale.
