The Magellan 8100/8200/8500 high performance scanner and scanner/scale with the new OmegaTek Productivity Technology is specifically designed for high volume retail checkout applications.
What is the new OmegaTek Productivity Technology?
OmegaTek Productivity Technology is comprised of hardware and software innovations that significantly improve scanner performance by increasing the scanning speed and by improving the first pass read rates on hard-to-read bar codes. This yields industry leading scan speeds and first-pass-read-rates while:
• Improving front end checkout productivity by reducing or eliminating re-scans or no-scans
• Improving customer service by reducing the time a customer has to wait in the checkout line
Patented All-Weighs? Scale Platter Reduces Shrink
The Magellan 8100/8200/8500 feature a redesigned All-Weighs platter for reducing loss from shrink stemming from mis-weighing large or over-sized produce. The All-Weighs platter design is more intuitive to use and allows produce to be leaned against the vertical window and platter, away from the counter, for the most accurate weighing.
High Performance Scanning For The Point-Of-Sale (POS)
The Magellan 8100/8200/8500 scanner/scale are major members of PSC's high-performance Magellan line for large volume, point-of-sale applications. They feature PSC's patented 360-degree scan pattern for ergonomically correct scanning when seated or standing. Every Magellan scanner/scale also includes FirstStrike?, PSC's advanced decoding software for reading torn, poorly printed and disfigured labels of all types. FirstStrike has the ability to autodiscriminate all supported symbologies for added flexibility and features support for Reduced Space Symbology (RSS).
Versatility By Design
The Magellan scanner/scale 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 can be equipped for full electronic articlesurveillance (EAS) functionality, including Interlock, for one step scanning and security tag deactivation.
Adding even more value to the POS environment, the Magellan features host diagnostic reporting software. This software is used to monitor and report the scanners health to its host. It can prevent scanner downtime by quickly warning management of potential problems before they actually happen.
