The Datalogic Gryphon I GD4500 is a premium, corded handheld barcode scanner designed for general-purpose applications that require a mix of performance, durability, and ergonomic design.¹ It's part of the Gryphon 4500 series, which is Datalogic's flagship line of handheld imagers.²

Here is a summary of its key features and applications:

Advanced Performance & Ergonomics:

• Megapixel Sensor: The GD4500 is equipped with a high-resolution, 1-megapixel imager, which provides superior scanning performance and an excellent depth of field.³ It can read all common 1D and 2D codes, including stacked, postal, and composite codes, with impressive speed.⁴

   

• White-Illumination Technology: The scanner uses a distinctive warm-white illumination that is easier on the human eye than traditional red lighting.⁵ This technology also provides better contrast for reading barcodes on colored labels.

   

• Motionix™ Motion-Sensing Technology: The scanner automatically detects when the user picks it up and switches seamlessly from a hands-free presentation mode to a handheld mode, improving productivity and ease of use.⁶

   

• Targeted Scanning: It features a highly visible 4-dot aimer with a center cross, which clearly defines the reading zone and helps the user to precisely target a single barcode in a multi-code environment.⁷

   

• 'Green Spot' Feedback: Datalogic's patented 'Green Spot' technology provides a visual good-read confirmation directly on the barcode, which is particularly useful in noisy environments.⁸

   

Durability and Reliability:

• Rugged Construction: The GD4500 is built to withstand repeated drops from 1.8 meters (6 ft) onto a concrete surface, ensuring it can handle the daily rigors of a busy environment.⁹

   

• Environmental Sealing: With an IP52 rating, it is protected against dust and water splashes.¹⁰

   

• Healthcare Versions: The scanner is also available in a healthcare model with disinfectant-ready and anti-microbial enclosures, making it suitable for use in hospitals and pharmacies.¹¹

   

• Wireless Option: While the GD4500 is the corded (desk) version, the Gryphon 4500 series also includes wireless models (GBT and GM) with inductive charging technology.¹²

   

Connectivity and Applications:

• Multi-Interface: The GD4500 is a corded scanner with multi-interface options, including USB, RS-232, and Keyboard Wedge, making it easy to integrate into a wide range of POS and IT systems.¹³

   

• Image and Document Capture: The device is also capable of high-quality image capture and document scanning, adding to its versatility.¹⁴

   

• Ideal Industries: The scanner is perfect for use in retail (POS), light manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation and logistics.¹⁵
