Datalogic Magellan 9600i Bi-Optic Scanner-Scale
The Datalogic Magellan 9600i is a next-generation bi-optic fixed retail scanner-scale engineered for high-volume checkout environments. This integrated platform combines advanced digital imaging barcode scanning with precision integrated weighing in a single robust device, delivering the scanning speed and accuracy demanded by modern grocery and retail operations.
Key Features
- Next-Gen Digital Imaging Bi-Optic technology for superior barcode capture
- Integrated scale with multiple platter configuration options
- All-directional 1D/2D barcode reading capability
- GS1 Digital Link support for modern retail ecosystems
- Advanced shrink reduction technology to minimize loss
- Wired connectivity via USB and RS-232
- Designed for high-throughput, tough retail environments
- 1-Year Limited Warranty included
Technical Specifications
The Magellan 9600i measures 305 x 216 x 406 mm (12.0 x 8.5 x 16.0 in) with a weight of 6.6 kg (14.5 lb), making it a compact countertop solution that fits standard checkout configurations. Dual connectivity options—USB and RS-232—ensure flexible integration with legacy and modern POS systems. The bi-optic scanning architecture enables fast, reliable reads regardless of barcode orientation, critical for maintaining checkout lane throughput during peak periods.
Applications & Benefits
Purpose-built for enterprise retail deployments, the Magellan 9600i standardizes barcode capture and weighing across multiple checkout lanes and facilities. The integrated scale eliminates the need for separate weighing hardware, reducing countertop clutter and simplifying POS integration. Retailers benefit from consistent performance metrics, simplified staff training, and streamlined spare parts management across their fleet.
The device's advanced imaging technology combats shrinkage by ensuring every barcode is accurately read on the first scan, reducing manual intervention and loss. GS1 Digital Link compatibility prepares retailers for evolving supply chain standards and omnichannel retail initiatives.

The Magellan 9600i represents Datalogic's mature approach to retail scanner-scale integration. Unlike single-function devices, the bi-optic architecture balances scanning capability with integrated weighing, reducing total hardware investment and operational complexity. For high-volume environments, the all-directional reading capability directly impacts labor productivity—cashiers spend less time repositioning items for scanning, improving throughput during peak checkout periods.
The device's compatibility with both modern USB interfaces and legacy RS-232 systems makes it suitable for retrofit scenarios in established retail environments without requiring extensive POS system overhauls. For IT fleet managers, standardizing on the Magellan 9600i across multiple locations simplifies inventory management and reduces training overhead. The 1-Year Limited Warranty, combined with Datalogic's certified repair ecosystem and optional extended coverage plans, provides a clear total cost of ownership model for enterprise procurement.
