Gryphon GPS4400
On-Counter Presentation Scanner
The Gryphon™ 4400 series represents a premium level in bar code
data collection devices from Datalogic using advanced imaging technology. The GPS4400 countertop presentation scanner offers
hands-free scanning of small, easily handled items and hand held
scanning operation for bulkier items. The reader’s compact size
makes it the ideal solution for space-constrained environments.
With a precise reading area, it is perfect for hands-free or handheld
scanning and helps reduce accidental misreads of items caused by
stray laser scan lines - improving productivity and customer satisfaction.
Its aggressive imaging performance and intuitive operation reduces
user training and speeds checkout for better customer service.
The GPS4400 2D bar code scanner module features outstanding
near-field reading, a wide angle field-of-view, high motion tolerance,
snappy reading, and also offers excellent performance when decoding poor or damaged bar codes. As with all Gryphon readers, the
GPS4400 reader offers good-read visual confirmation with Datalogic’s patented ‘Green Spot’ technology as well as supporting
advanced features like image capture.
Reading a Bar Code
8 Gryphon™ GPS4400
User comfort is maximized with the GPS4400 OEM module’s steady,
deep red illumination light. Easier on the eyes than competitive products with flicker illumination, the highly visible 4-Dot aimer defines a
precise reading zone and reduces accidental reads. The aimer’s center cross provides a locator for targeted scanning in a multiple bar
code environment.
The GPS4400 omni-directional reading provides snappy decoding
performance on all common 1D and 2D codes as well as postal,
stacked and composite codes like PDF417.
For mobile marketing or ticketing applications, this imager also offers
excellent performance when reading bar codes from mobile
devices.The GPS4400 eliminates the need for separate equipment
with signature capture and document scanning capabilities.
The GPS4400 supports several modes that can be used as a trigger.
This module has the ability to automatically sense objects and trigger itself. A continuous scan mode captures data whenever a bar
code passes into its field-of-view.
The reader can also be triggered remotely through software commands. The GPS4400 bar code scanner supports an RS-232 serial
interface or a USB (USB-HID or USB COM) interface.
Reading a Bar Code
The Gryphon GPS4400 can be used as either a hands-free presentation scanner or a handheld. Read a bar code label by presenting the
label to the scanner, or by moving the scanner toward the target.
Center the aiming pattern and illumination system to capture and
decode the image. The aiming system will briefly switch off after the
acquisition time, and if no code is decoded will switch on again before
the next acquisition. The illumination will remain on until the symbol
is decoded.
