Magellan Scanners and Scales
Overview
The Economic Choice
Before you replace or upgrade your checkout scanners, discover the Magellan scanner/scale from PSC. Your checkers will benefit - and so will your bottom line.
360o Scanning
Named for the explorer who first sailed around the world, Magellan is the first and only scanner that can simultaneously read the bottom and all four sides of grocery store items - a full 360 degrees - and only a 10o tilt is needed to scan top-labeled items. Because Magellan doesn't have the 90o to 150o blind spots of so-called bi-optic scanners - those "dead zones" where the scanner can't read the barcode - checkers don't have to twist, turn or lift items.
The Ergonomic Choice
Just a simple, ergonomically-correct slide over the largest horizontal scan window on the market is all that's required. Magellan's read zone is placed closer to the checker, so it requires less reaching - reducing lower back strain. Productivity, safety and profitability have never been more important. With Magellan, you'll boost all three.
Performance
Magellan's aggressive scan pattern, large scan volume and decoding ability provide lightning-fast throughput and high first-pass read rates on a variety of barcodes. PSC's patented Adaptive(tm) decoding software - for reading overprinted, underprinted or marginless labels - is standard, and with the Edge(tm) software option, Magellan automatically reconstructs torn or disfigured labels.
Reliability
Our ISO 9000 certified manufacturing processes are recognised by the Association for Manufacturing Excellence and the Tom Peters Group as amongst the world's best. That means Magellan will deliver unequalled performance for years. And Magellan's single visible laser diode, single motor and advanced engineering lead to high reliability and low power consumption. You'll see lower power bills - a nd longer scanner life.
Ease of Use
Magellan continues the tradition of top-mounted controls. The good read indicator, scale zero indicator, volume switch and scale zero switch are all within easy reach; combined with a clearly-marked read zone, they make Magellan exceptionally easy to use. Programming barcodes are also available to customize features on site.
Magellan's sapphire glass window option is designed to last the life of the scanner, and because it's flush mounted into a stainless steel top, objects slide across easily.
Magellan's symmetrical scan pattern enables checkers to scan from right to left or from left to right permitting the scanner to be mounted into mirror image back-to-back checkouts.
Magellan's small dimensions also make it easy to install. No counter modifications are required when replacing most popular scanners.
The Best All-Around Choice
If you're like most grocery retailers, you've spent a lot of time looking for ways to enhance safety, profitability and productivity. There's an answer... in Magellan.
