BlueStar to Distribute Datalogic Scanning Magellan® 8400 Scanner

Florence, KY—November 01, 2007—BlueStar, the leading innovator in solutions-based distribution for Auto ID, Point-of-Sale, Mobility and RFID products, is announcing it is distributing the new Datalogic Scanning Magellan® 8400 scanner.

The Magellan® 8400 scanner is a high-performance POS bi-optic scanner. This newest Magellan® improves operational efficiency by achieving outstanding first-pass-read rates and offering the newest Datalogic Scanning bi-optic technology for reading poor-quality bar code labels.

The Magellan® 8400 scanner/scale comes standard with the exclusive and patented All-Weighs® platter for significantly reducing produce shrink at the front end caused by inaccurate weighing. The product’s quality and reliability significantly reduces component failure points. The Magellan® 8400 is available as either a scanner/scale or as a scanner only. The scanner/scale is available in two lengths: long and medium. The scanner alone is available in three lengths: long, medium, and short.

“The Magellan® 8400 high-performance bi-optic scanner delivers best-in-class performance and value. High-volume checkout customers will benefit from the Magellan family’s renowned quality and reliability,” says Dave Sullivan, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales, Services, and Marketing at Datalogic Scanning, Inc.

“BlueStar is excited to include the Datalogic Scanning Magellan® 8400 in our high-performance POS scanner offerings. It not only features low power consumption, but is also a ‘green’ product,” says Mark Fraker, BlueStar’s VP of Marketing.
