Not sure which version you need? All Magellan 1500i versions share the same 2D scanner – they differ only in colour, mounting and cable kit. Choose a USB kit for PCs and modern POS systems, the RS-232 kit (with power supply) for serial terminals, a tilting or riser stand for the counter and the wall mount kit where counter space is tight.
