Gryphon I GD4400-B Barcode Scanner Product Review
Hi, this is Camille with POSGuys.com.
Today I'm demonstrating the GD4400-B Gryphon I scanner.
This is a hybrid barcode scanner, it scans 2D and 1D barcodes.
What makes it unique is it has an automatic transitioning feature
between hand-held mode and presentation mode.
The GD4400-B is capable of scanning 1D barcodes, PDF417s, and 2D barcodes.
it has pretty good range for standard barcodes.
Getting up to about 15 inches here before it slows down.
Some interesting things that the scanner can read are cell phones, so this is a
great new feature.
[beeps] No problem.
And lower contrast, like scanning barcodes on cardboard, or
light barcodes on light surfaces, or curved surfaces.
It doesn't have any problem with that.
It's also very good at scanning barcodes in direct sunlight.
I'll show you an example.
Put it under my bright light there, and scan, and it doesn't have any problems at all.
The GD4400-B has a very advanced scan engine, and I'll demonstrate that with this test here.
I'm gonna [scratching] run some lines through this
barcode.
Just try and mess it up so that the scanner won't be able to read it.
[beep] But it doesn't have any problem at all.
The Gryphon I has a pivoting base, so it'll tilt downwards, and upwards.
It's free-standing no matter which way you tilt it so you can leave it however
is most comfortable.
One of the key features of the GD4400-B is that it has automatic transitioning
between hand-held and hands-free mode.
So in hand-held mode it operates just like any regular scanner.
That's hand-held.
And then you set it down, without pushing any buttons, or reconfiguring the barcode
scanner, it automatically switches to presentation
mode, where you can scan barcodes without holding
it.
It also features an interesting and unique targeting reticle.
So you have a cross-hair, surrounded by four dots to help you line up
the barcode in the most ideal position.
So, [beep] like that.
And if you noticed, there is a green dot.
That is your indicator that the barcode has been correctly scanned.
So you can hear the beep right now, but if you
wanted to take that off, you'd have that green dot, and you'd still be able to tell
that the barcode was scanned correctly.
The best feature on the GD4400-B is its ability to transition seamlessly from
hand-held and hands-free presentation mode.
This is great because it means you only need one scanner, you don't have to have
an omni scanner, you can just use this one.
It is available in black and white.
It has optional USB, serial, or PS/2 keyboard wedge
interfaces.
It has a 5-year manufacturers warranty.
