Datalogic Magellan 3700HSi Horizontal In-Counter Scanner
The Datalogic Magellan 3700HSi (M3751-010210-01604) is a next-generation horizontal single-plane in-counter scanner engineered for high-volume retail, grocery, and warehouse environments. This integrated platform combines 1D/2D imager technology, built-in RFID capability, and a 1 MP camera in a compact form factor, delivering 25% higher 2D code throughput than previous generations while maintaining ultra-low power consumption of just 1.2 W.
Key Features
- Horizontal single-plane design optimized for in-counter checkout installations
- 1D/2D imager with integrated RFID antenna for dual-mode scanning
- Built-in 1 MP camera for image capture and documentation
- Up to 1,800 scans per second for high-throughput environments
- Ultra-low 1.2 W power consumption reduces operational costs
- Wired connectivity via USB and RS-232 for reliable integration
- Compact dimensions: 152 x 86 x 152 mm (6.0 x 3.4 x 6.0 in)
- Lightweight at 726 g (1.6 lb) for minimal counter footprint
- 3-Year Limited Warranty with Datalogic factory support
Technical Specifications
This scanner excels in demanding retail and logistics applications where reliability and speed directly impact throughput. The 1,800 scans-per-second capability supports rapid checkout processing, while the integrated RFID antenna enables inventory tracking and loss prevention without separate hardware. Color image capture on select configurations adds versatility for documentation and exception handling. The horizontal design minimizes counter space while the wired connectivity ensures stable, latency-free operation in enterprise POS and warehouse systems.
Applications
- Point-of-sale checkout counters in retail and grocery stores
- High-speed warehouse and distribution center scanning stations
- Healthcare and pharmaceutical inventory management
- Multi-modal scanning for 1D barcodes, 2D codes, and RFID tags
- Enterprise fleet standardization across multiple facility locations
The Magellan 3700HSi represents a mature platform choice for organizations seeking to consolidate scanner hardware across checkout, back-office, and inventory operations. The integrated RFID eliminates the need for separate RFID readers in many deployments, reducing capital expenditure and SKU complexity. Its 25% performance gain on 2D codes reflects optimization for modern QR code-heavy workflows while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy barcode systems.
The ultra-low power footprint is particularly valuable in high-density counter installations where thermal management and electrical load are constraints. Wired connectivity via USB/RS-232 ensures deterministic performance in POS environments where wireless latency or dropout could impact transaction speed. Organizations standardizing on this platform benefit from centralized device management, predictable spare parts inventory, and Datalogic's factory support ecosystem.
