About the Reader
The Gryphon GFS4400 is a fully self-contained standard range 2D bar code scanning module
for use in OEM applications such as self service kiosks or other semi-automated equipment
requiring the ability to read a bar code. It is intended to be an easy integration by system
designers with little expertise in scanning technology. Unlike currently available products, the
GFS4400 uses the latest and fastest imaging technology and offers Datalogic’s Green Spot for
targeting and good read feedback.
The scanning technology is essentially the same as the Gryphon
I 4400 handheld scanner family
of area imagers, with some enhancements for presentation reading and improved motion
tolerance. The enclosure is designed for ease of integration, is sealed to IP54 for cleaning, and is
constructed of a solvent- and disinfectant-tolerant resin for health care applications.
Advancements in the LED technology used in the imager-based readers significantly improve
the illumination of th
e target field of view, resulting in higher scan efficiency.
The GFS4400 is available in two different data interface versions:
•Gryphon I GFS4470 Gryphon Fixed Scanner 2D Imager USB
