A checkout scanner links a physical product to the POS record. The Datalogic Magellan 9300i is a fixed scanner with horizontal and vertical imaging windows, so cashiers can move items through the scan area without carefully aiming at one small point.
What happens during a scan?
1.Move the item across the counter. The scanner stays in place while the cashier presents the barcode.
2.Capture and decode the code. The imaging windows read supported 1D and 2D codes from different orientations.
3.Send the data to the POS. The scanner passes barcode data to compatible checkout software. The POS looks up the matching item, price, and other product details.
4.Confirm the read and continue. Audio or visual good-read indicators can confirm a successful scan, helping the cashier move to the next item.
Configuration checks
•Some configurations include an integrated scale; verify the exact model and capacity required.
•Optional customer-service scanners can handle supported mobile or paper codes.
•Interfaces and compatibility depend on the scanner configuration and POS system.
For a handheld alternative, see Local POS Broker’s Zebra DS2208 barcode-scanner guide. Its POS inventory-mismatch guide explains why accurate product records matter after the scan.

Checkout hardware is only one part of a retail setup. The Direct Processors’ services page describes a range of merchant services for businesses comparing POS and payment needs.
Bottom line: The 9300i captures barcode data; the POS matches it to a product and price. Confirm configuration and software compatibility to keep checkout equipment working together.
