Handheld bar code reader Datalogic Gryphon I GD4500

The Datalogic Gryphon I GD4500 is a wired handheld 1D/2D bar code reader designed for general-purpose scanning in retail, warehouse and office environments. The desk (corded) version delivers reliable reading performance using a Megapixel sensor with warm-white illumination and a highly visible 4‑dot aimer, and is available in a healthcare variant with disinfectant-ready and anti-microbial enclosure.

Advantages

The Gryphon I GD4500 provides advanced imaging performance with warm-white lighting that improves readability of colored labels and is gentler on the operator’s eyes. Motionix™ motion-sensing technology automatically selects the appropriate scanning mode for handheld or presentation use. The 4‑dot aimer defines a precise reading zone and the center cross aids targeted scanning in multi-barcode situations. Its wired connectivity (USB/RS-232) and IP52 rating make it suitable for demanding everyday use.

How to use

Connect the GD4500 to the host system using the appropriate cable (USB or RS-232) and configure the interface per the host requirements.

For handheld scanning, center the barcode under the aimer crosshair to achieve a fast, targeted read.

Recommendations

For environments requiring frequent cleaning or infection control, choose the Healthcare model with disinfectant-ready and anti-microbial enclosure and follow the manufacturer’s cleaning guidelines. Use warm-white illumination to improve reading of colored labels and position items to keep barcodes within the aimer zone for consistent reads.
