CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
The Magellan™
1500i Scanner is designed for small counter retail checkout environments
where there is a relatively high number of transactions with a fairly small number of items
per transaction. The scanner has a reduced footprint, allowing more room for item mer‐
chandising of high margin impulse items clustered around the POS (Point of Sale).
The Magellan 1500i uses intelligent illumination technology to optimize light levels for a
v
ariety of barcode scanner functions including automatic reading of barcodes from printed
surfaces, mobile devices and image capture in variable contrast environments.
