High Performance In-Counter 
Scanner and Scanner/Scale
The Magellan 8500Xt scanner/scales are 
the culmination of recent developments by 
Datalogic Scanning in high-performance 
xed position scanning for the Retail 
Industry. No other bar code scanner 
designed for high volume retail performs 
better, has better reliability, or has the 
combination of features that translate into 
a measurable Return on Investment (ROI) 
than the Magellan 8500Xt products. The 
Magellan 8500Xt scanner/scale inherits the 
Magellan brand’s renowned reputation for 
performance and reliability that has made 
Magellan the number one high-performance 
retail scanner brand in the world. 
Magellan Scale Technology, Datalogic 
Scanning’s new factory certied weighing 
system, virtually eliminates additional costs 
associated with integration. Scale-settling 
times (less than 500 milliseconds) are the 
fastest in the industry, improving throughput 
on priced-by-weight items. A Dual Interval 
Scale model legally weighs smaller, high-
priced items for increased revenue. A 
scale-ready model version for integration of 
adaptive scales is also available.
Features
•  SurroundScan® 3D Scanning™ 
provides 6-sided scanning to improve 
throughput, increase operational 
eciency, and increase customer 
satisfaction by shortening checkout lines
•  Magellan Scale Technology, Datalogic 
Scanning’s new factory certied 
weighing system, reduces scale settling 
time to less than 500 milliseconds per 
transaction improving throughput on 
weighed items
•  Patented All-Weighs® scale platter 
reduces produce loss at the front end by 
providing a unique solution for weighing 
long or bulky produce
•  Optional Checkpoint® or Sensormatic® 
integrated EAS antennas reduce ‘Failure 
to Deactivate’ events at the exit gates
•  Improved ease of service features reduce 
the total cost of ownership
•  Optional PreScan™ software allows 
customers to have their purchases

The Magellan 8500Xt scanner/scale addresses 
produce shrink at the POS with the patented 
All-Weighs® scale platter that allows cashiers 
to weigh long or bulky produce without 
touching a non-weighing surface. Optional 
Checkpoint® and Sensormatic® integrated 
EAS antennas reduce shrink at the POS by 
requiring a good read before deactivating an 
EAS tag. 
Data management is essential for managing 
POS operations. A new label editing feature 
enables easy pre-formatting of data before 
delivery to the POS. Value Added Features 
are reporting tools that allow data from the 
scanner to be used to improve throughput 
and manage maintenance. Special EAS 
reporting features provide immediate 
feedback and the ability to track EAS tagging 
compliance on a per-item basis.
The Magellan 8500Xt scanners/scales are 
the world’s number one retail scanner in 
performance, reliability and high value 
dierentiated features.
