Johannesburg, 21 Jan 2008

ProScan Systems, a leading distributor of supply chain, automated data collection and mobile computing solutions, announced the release of the Magellan 2200VS retail vertical presentation scanner, designed to specifically optimise performance for medium to high throughput applications in point of sales applications, from grocery, drug to variety and convenience stores.

The Megallan 2200VS is part of the recently expanded range of POS fixed mount scanners from Datalogic, available through ProScan, premier distributors in South Africa.

Featuring OmegaTek Productivity Technology, the Magellan 2200VS comprises hardware and software innovations capable of significantly enhancing scanner performance by improving the first pass read rates on complex-to-read bar codes.

Unlike other competitive vertical scanners, the Datalogic Magellan 2200VS offers category leading scanning performance, unique value added software features, like Productivity Index Reporting, and advanced FirstStrike) decoding software.

Aggressive, fast and accurate, the new 2200VS adopts Magellan family technology to create an omni-directional scan pattern to maximise productivity and ergonomics for both sweep and presentation scanning methods.

Like all Magellans, it offers flash memory for easy software upgrades, supports host diagnostic reporting, and meets all of the Sunrise 2005 initiatives. Every scanner also supports all of the most popular symbologies and offers optional support for RSS feeds.

The Datalogic Magellan 2200VS hosts a non-intrusive 6-inch x 3.8-inch footprint, so it integrates easily into both new and existing POS configurations. It also supports all of the most popular host terminal interfaces out of the box, including IBM-governed USB, and is compatible with OPOS and JavaPOS systems, allowing for even greater installation flexibility at POS.
