About the Scanner
With rich feature sets and extensive model options, the Gryphon™ product series from 
Datalogic represents the premium level of data collection equipment for general purpose 
applications. The Gryphon I GD4500 reader has enhanced Megapixel optics with improved 
motion tolerance, allowing codes placed on fast-moving objects to be easily and quickly 
captured, creating the ideal reader for tasks requiring high throughput like those found in 
retail, light industrial environments and healthcare.
Using the GD4500 Reader
To read a symbol or capture an image, simply aim the reader and pull the trigger. The Gry-
phon™ I GD4500 is a powerful omni-directional reader, so
 the orientation of the symbol is 
not important. Datalogic's exclusive patented 'Green Spot' for good-read feedback helps to 
improve productivity in noisy environments or in situations where silence is required. 
When positioning the product into the stand, the magnetic coupling will make the scanner 
automatically detect a bar code inside the field of view, and switch the reading system 
from trigger mode to autosense mode.
The Gryphon™ I GD4500 reliably decodes all standa
rd 1D (linear) and 2D bar codes, includ-
ing GS1 DataBar™ linear codes, Postal Codes
 (China Post), Stacked Codes (such as GS1 
DataBar Expanded Stacked, GS1 DataBar Stacked, GS1 DataBar, Stacked Omnidirectional). 
The data stream - acquired from decoding a symbol - is rapidly sent to the host. The 
reader is immediately available to read another symbol.
