Datalogic Magellan 9900i Bi-Optic POS Scanner / Scanner-Scale

Brand - Datalogic

The Datalogic Magellan 9900i is a next-generation in-counter bi-optic POS scanner and scanner-scale platform designed for high-throughput assisted and self-checkout environments. It combines advanced multi-camera imaging, low-profile checkout integration, strong 1D / 2D / GS1 / Digimarc decoding, scale integration, loss prevention features and optional AI enablement capabilities. The Magellan 9900i is built for retailers that need premium checkout performance in a familiar bi-optic format. It is especially relevant for grocery, supermarket, hypermarket, discount retail and self-checkout deployments where speed, scan volume, weighing accuracy, EAS workflows and future AI-based loss prevention may all be required. A key physical advantage of the Magellan 9900i is its low tower / bonnet height of 6.8 cm / 2.7 in. This supports layout flexibility at the checkstand or self-checkout area and can help retailers improve accessibility and customer experience. The low above-counter profile gives more freedom for positioning POS displays, self-checkout screens, payment terminals and other checkout peripherals. The Magellan 9900i is powered by Datalogic QuadVision™, a multi-camera architecture based on an IMX8 multi-core processor. It uses four monochrome 1 MP global shutter imagers, two horizontal and two vertical, with 1280 x 800 pixel resolution at 30 frames per second. This architecture captures multiple high-resolution images for each scan and helps decode difficult, damaged or poorly presented barcodes.The scanner provides 5-sided image capture as standard within the scanner body, and the optional Top Down Reader, or TDR, expands the scan volume by 20%. With the TDR option, the 9900i adds a 6-sided view of items crossing the platter, improving scanning ease and supporting faster checkout workflows.The TDR is available in three heights: 31.5 cm / 12.4 in, 22.8 cm / 9.0 in and 17.8 cm / 7.0 in. A Top Down Reader with Customer Facing Reader is also available, enabling customers to scan mobile devices and coupons independently from the cashier in assisted lanes. This can improve efficiency and reduce transaction friction. The Magellan 9900i auto-discriminates major retail barcode formats, including EAN / JAN / UPC, Code 128, EAN / JAN composites, GS1 DataBar composites, GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked, GS1 DataBar Stacked, GS1 DataBar Stacked Omnidirectional, MicroPDF417, PDF417, UPC A / E composites, Aztec Code, Data Matrix, QR Code, Micro QR, Digimarc Barcode and future GS1 codes. The platform is designed to be ready for GS1 Digital Link symbology, which can connect valuable manufacturing and health safety details to each transaction. This makes the 9900i relevant for retailers preparing for richer product data, future barcode standards and more advanced checkout intelligence. The scanner uses multiple diffused LEDs with orientation and wavelength optimized for eye comfort. Visual good-read confirmation is available for all reading planes, and audio feedback is provided through an 85 dB speaker with adjustable tone and volume plus WAV file support. The 9900i portfolio includes scanner-only and scanner-scale configurations. Scanner-only models are listed as 9910, 9911 and 9912, while scanner-scale models are listed as 9921 and 9922. This allows retailers to select the right configuration for assisted checkout, self-checkout or weighing-enabled lanes. For weighing applications, the Magellan 9900i supports both dual interval and single interval scale technology. Dual interval scale technology supports 0.002 kg / 0.005 lb increments from 0 to 6.0 kg / 0 to 15.0 lb, and 0.005 kg / 0.010 lb increments from 6.0 to 15.0 kg / 15.0 to 30.0 lb. Single interval scale technology supports 0.005 kg / 0.010 lb increments and 0 to 15.0 kg / 0 to 30.0 lb capacity. Adaptive scale support is listed for Bizerba, Mettler Toledo and Digi. Loss prevention is one of the strongest areas of the Magellan 9900i platform. The All-Weighs scale platter uses integrated horizontal and vertical scale platter surfaces to increase the active weighing area. This helps improve weighing accuracy for large, long or awkwardly shaped produce items. ScaleSentry technology uses infrared platter detection to support shrink prevention. It monitors the sides of the scale platter and can trigger configurable audio and visual indicators when items are placed outside the weighing surface. This helps reduce under-weighing risk at checkout. ScanSentry adds another layer of checkout control. The Magellan 9900i can detect item movement across the platter and alert the POS system if no barcode was detected. The source notes that this can be augmented with color cameras and artificial intelligence to support advanced loss prevention and item recognition solutions. The Magellan 9900i also supports integrated EAS workflows. It includes integrated EAS antenna support for Checkpoint and Nedap, Sensormatic Deactivation Controller integration with Datalogic SmartSentry technology, and scanner-provided Good-read / EAS status indicators. Optional AI enablement capabilities make the 9900i a future-oriented checkout platform. Future optional integrated color cameras and color TDRs can be used for machine learning image capture and simultaneous video streaming through USB 3.0 or Ethernet for loss prevention. The AI enablement section also lists smart TDRs for barcode reading and color image capture, as well as a horizontal plane color camera module. The source also describes optional neural processors and accelerators. These are intended to execute AI inference models inside the scanner and reduce the need for extra servers or cloud processing at checkout. Since the neural processor and TPU are described as future or coming-soon capabilities, they should be positioned as AI-ready platform options rather than assumed standard features. An optional 7-port Ethernet switch allows the Magellan 9900i to connect up to two integrated and three external cameras, creating what the source describes as a “zone of cognition.” The Ethernet switch requires an external 48 V power supply. The Magellan 9900i is designed for flexible POS integration. Supported POS operating systems include Windows 11, Windows 11 IoT, Linux and Android. OPOS and JavaPOS utilities are available. Host interfaces include RS-232 and USB, with multi-interface options for OEM / IBM USB Plus Power scanner-scale operation, RS-232 scanner / RS-232 scale, RS-232 scanner and single-cable RS-232 scanner-scale configurations. Auxiliary ports include two powered USB Host Type A ports, powered RS-232, remote scale display, EAS controller ports, Sensormatic and Interlock. One Ethernet port is standard, and the optional 7-port Ethernet switch expands camera and network integration possibilities. The physical design supports multiple checkout layouts. Height above counter is 6.9 cm / 2.7 in, below-counter depth is 10.2 cm / 4.0 in and width is 29.2 cm / 11.5 in. Available lengths include short shelf at 35.2 cm / 13.9 in, medium shelf at 39.9 cm / 15.7 in and long flange at 50.7 cm / 20.0 in. Power requirements are based on 12 VDC scanner power. Nominal operating power consumption is 9.3 W, while sleep power consumption is 7.3 W. Optional DC brick and optional Ethernet 48 VDC brick support 100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz input. The scanner is designed for retail operating environments. It supports ambient light from 0 to 86,080 lux, 25 kV air discharge ESD protection, 5–95% non-condensing humidity and operation from 10°C to 40°C / 50°F to 104°F. Storage and transport temperature range is -40°C to 70°C / -40°F to 158°F. Configuration and integration are supported by Datalogic Aladdin, which allows configuration management, firmware updates and advanced formatting through an intuitive interface. Datalogic also provides Magellan SDKs to support POS integration and optional AI enablement hardware such as color cameras, neural processors and Ethernet expansion. Remote management capabilities include diagnostic reporting through WMI for OPOS and JavaPOS, MBeans for JavaPOS, Host Download, IBM Director, Wavelink Avalanche and other ERP management solutions. The standard factory warranty is 1 year. Overall, the Datalogic Magellan 9900i is a premium AI-ready bi-optic scanner / scanner-scale platform for high-throughput assisted and self-checkout environments. Its strongest value lies in QuadVision imaging, four 1 MP global shutter imagers, low 2.7-inch tower height, 5-sided image capture, optional TDR with 20% expanded scan volume and 6-sided item view, GS1 Digital Link readiness, Digimarc support, All-Weighs, ScaleSentry, ScanSentry, integrated EAS, optional color camera workflows, optional neural processing direction, Ethernet expansion and flexible scanner / scanner-scale configurations.
