GRYPHON™ I GD4500 2D
IMAGING TECHNOLOGY
The Gryphon™ 4500 series represents the
premium range of hand held scanners from
Datalogic for general purpose applications.
Designed with people in mind, the Gryphon
I GD4500 imager stands out for the elegant
and trendy design, the unchallenged
ergonomics and features the most advanced
Megapixel sensor with white-illumination
2D technology for outstanding performance.
TOP TECHNOLOGIES FOR TODAY’S POS
Perfect for both hand held and presentation
reading, the Gryphon I GD4500 imager
exploits Datalogic’s Motionix™ motionsensing technology which detects
the natural actions of the operator to
automatically switch the scanner into the
desired scanning mode. This technology
works with or without the use of a stand,
offering more operational choices. Both the
aimer and sensor can be programmed to the
user’s desired preferences.
Datalogic distinctive reading technology
with highly visible white-illumination is
easier on the human eyes and reads colored
labels better. The highly visible 4-Dot
aimer defines a precise reading zone and
reduces accidental reads, while the aimer’s
center cross provides a locator for targeted
scanning in a multiple bar code environment.
SIMPLE TO USE AND DEPLOY
The Gryphon I GD4500 omnidirectional
imager provides snappy reading
performance on all common 1D and 2D
codes as well as postal, stacked and
composite codes like PDF417. High Density
(HD) models are also available for reading
smaller, condensed codes. A dedicated
version with red illumination optics reads
Digital Watermarking. For mobile marketing
or ticketing applications, this imager also
offers excellent performance when reading
bar codes from mobile devices.
The enhanced optics offer improved motion
tolerance and high speed imaging to read
fast moving codes.
