Configured as the M230B-00100-04030R with an IBM USB cable and SurePOS power option — USB cable supplied separately from the unit itself — this Datalogic Magellan 2300HS in-counter scanner connects via a serial host interface in a horizontal, single-plane in-counter form factor weighing 2.43 lb. It autodiscriminates all standard 1D codes including GS1 DataBar linear codes, and extends that capability to stacked symbologies: GS1 DataBar Stacked, GS1 DataBar Stacked Omnidirectional, and GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked. FirstStrike decoding algorithms improve first-pass read rates on damaged, wrinkled, or poorly printed barcodes. Flash memory supports field software upgrades, and an auxiliary RS-232 port accommodates handheld scanner attachment, programming, or label data output. The unit carries RoHS environmental compliance and is backed by a 3-year limited warranty, positioning it for medium to high-volume POS deployments in drug, convenience, grocery, DIY, and specialty retail environments.
