Compact 1D and 2D presentation scanning with a tilting stand
1D + 2D imagerPrinted and screen codesAdjustable standCable separate
The Datalogic Magellan 900i is a compact omnidirectional presentation scanner for checkout and service counters. Its digital imager reads common 1D and 2D barcodes from labels and mobile screens, while the adjustable stand supports hands-free scanning. This exact black MG0901-10000 configuration includes the scanner with stand and no accessories, so the required interface cable must be selected separately.
Best For: Retail counters, pharmacies, ticket checks and service desks needing compact hands-free reading of product labels, loyalty codes and mobile tickets.
Before you order: MG0901-10000 is not the USB cable kit. Order a compatible Datalogic interface cable and any required power accessories separately, matching the POS host and desired USB or RS-232 configuration. Magnetic mounting accessories are separate. Confirm the actual barcode formats and host software settings before deployment.
