Datalogic 96222211000-013310 Magellan 9600i Bi-Optic Scanner-Scale
The Datalogic Magellan 9600i (model 96222211000-013310) is a fixed-position scanner-scale engineered for high-volume retail checkout lanes where throughput, scan reliability, and integrated weighing are non-negotiable. This device consolidates barcode scanning and scale functionality into a single unit, reducing hardware footprint on checkout counters and simplifying operator training across multi-location retail deployments.
Key Features
- Next-Gen Digital Imaging Bi-Optic Engine: Reads 1D and 2D barcodes from virtually any orientation—damaged, poorly printed, or unconventional label angles—without requiring operator repositioning. Eliminates scan-and-retry cycles that slow checkout throughput in high-transaction environments.
- Integrated Scale with Multiple Platter Options: Eliminates the need for a separate weighing device on the checkout counter. Precision weighing for produce, deli, and bulk items reduces counter clutter and streamlines the checkout workflow.
- GS1 Digital Link Support: Future-proofs the device for mobile-triggered checkout, dynamic product information retrieval, and modern retail supply chain workflows without requiring hardware replacement.
- Advanced Shrink Reduction Technology: Helps prevent unauthorized or accidental product loss—a significant operational pain point in high-traffic retail environments. Integrated scanning and weighing consistency reduces reconciliation discrepancies.
- Wired USB and RS-232 Connectivity: Direct connection to POS and inventory management systems ensures stable, latency-free data transmission. No wireless interference or dropout risk in densely packed checkout areas.
- Compact Footprint: Measures 305 x 216 x 406 mm (12.0 x 8.5 x 16.0 in) and weighs 6.6 kg (14.5 lb). Fits standard checkout counter dimensions without requiring layout redesign or additional electrical infrastructure.
Deployment & Configuration
The Magellan 9600i supports multiple mounting and configuration options to accommodate different checkout counter layouts and store configurations. Organizations deploying across multiple locations benefit from hardware standardization—consistent performance, reduced spare parts complexity, and simplified technical support across the fleet. The integrated scale and scanner reduce the total number of devices, which translates directly to lower training overhead and faster onboarding of new checkout staff.
Integration & Compatibility
The device integrates with standard retail POS and inventory management systems via USB and RS-232 interfaces. Wired connectivity ensures reliable data transmission in high-noise retail environments without the latency or interference issues common to wireless checkout devices. The Magellan 9600i is part of the broader Datalogic scanner ecosystem, allowing fleet standardization across checkout, self-checkout, and back-office scanning operations.
Support & Warranty
Includes a 1-Year Limited Warranty covering factory defects. Datalogic offers certified repair services and optional EaseOfCare extended warranty programs, enabling predictable maintenance costs and minimizing unplanned checkout downtime across enterprise retail deployments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What barcode formats does the Magellan 9600i read?
A: The device supports all-directional 1D and 2D barcode scanning, including damaged or poorly printed labels and unconventional orientations. It is compatible with standard retail UPC, EAN, and GS1-128 formats, as well as 2D codes such as QR and Data Matrix.
Q: Can the Magellan 9600i replace both a barcode scanner and a scale?
A: Yes. The integrated design consolidates scanning and weighing into a single device, eliminating the need for separate hardware. This reduces counter space, lowers maintenance overhead, and simplifies operator training.
Q: What is the warranty coverage on the 96222211000-013310?
A: The Magellan 9600i includes a 1-Year Limited Warranty covering factory defects. Extended coverage is available through Datalogic EaseOfCare programs for multi-year protection and priority support.
Q: Does the Magellan 9600i support GS1 Digital Link?
A: Yes. GS1 Digital Link support enables future retail workflows such as mobile-triggered checkout and dynamic product information retrieval without requiring hardware replacement.
Q: What connectivity options does the Magellan 9600i provide?
A: The device connects via wired USB and RS-232 interfaces to POS and inventory management systems. Wired connectivity eliminates wireless interference and ensures stable, latency-free data transmission in high-density checkout environments.
Q: Is the Magellan 9600i suitable for multi-location retail deployments?
A: Yes. The 9600i is ideal for enterprise retail standardization. Consistent hardware across multiple checkout locations reduces spare parts complexity, simplifies support, and lowers training overhead.
Ted PerryPerspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.
The Magellan 9600i represents a pragmatic hardware consolidation strategy for retail checkout automation. By combining barcode scanning and scale functionality in the model 96222211000-013310, you eliminate redundant devices, reduce training complexity, and cut the total cost of ownership across multi-location deployments. The bi-optic digital imaging architecture directly addresses a real operational friction point: operator frustration with barcode scanning failures on damaged labels or unconventional orientations that slow checkout throughput and degrade the customer experience.
Technical Highlights:
- All-Directional 1D/2D Scanning: Reads barcodes in any orientation without requiring operator repositioning. Eliminates the scan-and-retry cycles that accumulate to measurable checkout delays during peak traffic periods.
- Integrated Scale with Multiple Platter Configurations: Removes the need for a separate weighing device on the counter. Reduces hardware count, lowers maintenance touch points, and simplifies POS integration.
- GS1 Digital Link Support: Positions the device for future retail technology workflows (mobile checkout, dynamic product info) without hardware replacement—a real factor in 3- to 5-year capital planning.
- Compact 6.6 kg Form Factor (12.0 x 8.5 x 16.0 in): Fits standard checkout counter dimensions without layout redesign or additional electrical infrastructure investment.
Deployment Considerations:
- Wired-Only Connectivity (USB / RS-232): No wireless interference or dropout risk in high-density checkout areas—a real advantage over battery-operated or wireless scanners in noisy retail environments. However, you must plan for cable routing and POS proximity during counter layout.
- Fixed-Position Design: The Magellan 9600i is not a handheld scanner. It is stationary at the checkout counter. If you need mobile checkout or roaming scanning, this is not the right model.
The 9600i is the right choice for supermarket checkout lanes, retail point-of-sale environments, and high-transaction facilities where integrated scanning and weighing reduce counter footprint and operator training burden. Organizations standardizing fleet-wide on the Magellan platform benefit from consistent performance, reduced spare parts complexity, and simplified technical support across multiple locations.
