Datalogic Magellan 3600VSi POS Scanner

Brand - Datalogic

The Datalogic Magellan 3600VSi is a high-performance single-plane POS scanner designed for fast-paced retail checkout environments. It combines advanced digital imaging, strong motion tolerance, modern decoding capabilities and enterprise-level manageability in a compact on-counter form factor. The Magellan 3600VSi is built for retailers that need faster checkout, reliable scanning and support for new retail data standards. It reads printed, mobile, damaged and hard-to-read barcodes across 1D and 2D formats, helping checkout associates maintain speed and accuracy during busy transactions. A key strength of the Magellan 3600VSi is its support for modern barcode and data formats. The scanner reads standard 1D linear codes, GS1 DataBar linear codes, 2D codes such as Aztec Code, Data Matrix ECC200 and QR Code, stacked codes including GS1 Digital Link, GS1 DataBar composites, MicroPDF417 and PDF417, as well as Digimarc Barcodes / GS1 DW Code. The source also positions the scanner for OCR-related workflows. GS1 Digital Link support makes the Magellan 3600VSi especially relevant for next-generation retail applications. Enhanced barcode data can support use cases such as expiration date tracking, recall management and personalized promotions, helping retailers move beyond basic product identification. The scanner uses advanced digital imaging technology with a 1360 x 1120 pixel global shutter image sensor. It offers a maximum grayscale read rate of 60 million pixels per second, maximum resolution of 3 mil for 1D codes and 6 mil for 2D codes, and a read height of 15.0 cm / 6.0 in for EAN 13 mil codes at 15 cm distance. The Magellan 3600VSi is designed to read codes from printed materials and mobile phone screens. This is important for convenience stores, grocery, discount retail, specialty retail, fashion, pharmacy and hospitality environments where customers increasingly use digital coupons, loyalty apps, mobile tickets and screen-based identifiers. The scanner uses multiple diffused LEDs with orientation and wavelength optimized for eye comfort. Subtle adaptive illumination helps reduce operator fatigue while maintaining high-performance scanning. Solid-state electronics support silent operation and long-term reliability. The Magellan 3600VSi also supports color image capture in BMP, JPEG, TIFF and RAW formats. Color image capture is available on the 3650 / 3670 models, while the 3670 model includes a dedicated color video camera. This camera uses a 1280 x 800 pixel global shutter sensor, supports 40 frames per second and connects through USB 2.0 using the USB Video Class protocol. These capabilities can support security monitoring, loss prevention or external AI-based item recognition workflows. For loss prevention and item tracking, RFID functionality is available for the 3650 / 3670 models. The RFID feature supports EPC UHF Class 1 Gen 2 / ISO 18000-6C, with US frequency range of 902–928 MHz and EU frequency range of 865–868 MHz. It supports configurable power up to 9 dBm and offers a linear reading range up to 20 cm / 7.9 in. The scanner can read and write UHF RFID tags when the appropriate model and power configuration are used. The Magellan 3600VSi is also compatible with Checkpoint Systems and Tyco Sensormatic EAS solutions. This allows retailers to combine barcode scanning with EAS deactivation, RFID tracking and security-related workflows at checkout and returns. The scanner is designed for enterprise deployment. It supports IoT remote management for diagnostics, software upgrades and configuration. It can integrate into Windows, Linux and Android environments through OPOS, JavaPOS and Android SDK support. Magellan Aladdin configuration software is available for setup and configuration. The optional Magellan Customer Service Scanner, or CSS, allows customers to scan mobile phone barcodes, coupons and loyalty cards while the cashier continues scanning regular items. This parallel workflow can help reduce transaction time and improve customer experience. The Magellan 3600VSi offers multiple interfaces in every unit, including OEM / IBM USB, RS-232, USB Keyboard and USB Com. Auxiliary powered Type A USB is available on 3650 / 3670 models and requires a 12V power supply, 12V OEM-USB or 9–12V USB-C Power Delivery. USB-C Power Delivery is supported on 3650 / 3670 models at 9 or 12 V. Power consumption is low for the category. Without an auxiliary handheld device attached, operating maximum power consumption is 3 W, operating nominal power consumption is 1.2 W and sleep mode power consumption is 1.0 W. With an auxiliary handheld device attached on M3x50 and M3x70 models using a 12V power source, operating nominal power consumption is listed as 1.8 W. The scanner also has a strong sustainability positioning. The source describes it as using TÜV-certified 85% recycled plastics and eco-friendly packaging, positioning it as a green single-plane retail scanner. The compact physical design supports POS integration. Dimensions are 13.7 x 15.2 x 8.4 cm / 5.4 x 6.0 x 3.3 in, and weight is 0.60 kg / 1.3 lb. Optional mounting accessories include a wall / counter mount and tilt / riser mount. The Magellan 3600VSi is designed for real-world retail environments. It supports ambient light from 0 to 86,100 lux, 25 kV ESD air discharge protection, 5–95% non-condensing humidity and IP52 sealing. Operating temperature is 0 to 40°C, while storage and transport temperature is -40 to 70°C. Typical applications include attended POS, self-checkout POS, kiosks, ticketing, access control, price verification, loss prevention, ID verification, age verification, security monitoring, ticket switching, EAS deactivation, RFID tracking, sorting and quality assurance. Overall, the Datalogic Magellan 3600VSi is a modern, high-performance single-plane POS scanner for retailers that need fast 1D / 2D scanning, GS1 Digital Link readiness, mobile barcode reading, remote manageability and optional security / tracking capabilities. Its strongest value lies in advanced digital imaging, GS1 Digital Link, Digimarc, OCR-oriented workflows, RFID availability on 3650 / 3670 variants, EAS compatibility, color image capture, optional color video camera on 3670, USB-C power delivery, IoT remote management and a strong sustainability message.
