DESC: The Magellan 8500 is the highest performing scanner/scanner-scale available for large volume point-of-sale applications. It is the first scanner to use PSC's new, ground breaking SurroundScan technology to aggressively scan all 6 sides of an item. Competitive dual-plane scanners can only read 4 or 5 sides at once but the Magellan 8500 can simultaneously read the bottom, top, and all four sides of store items. With SurroundScan, a bar code in virtually any orientation can be read with the first pass. It has never been easier, faster, or more ergonomic to scan at the POS!
