Datalogic Scanning Announces Next Generation Of Gryphon™ 2D Handheld Imagers

Datalogic Scanning is pleased to announce immediate availability of the next generation Gryphon D432/D412 Plus general purpose 2D imager. The new Gryphon 2D Plus imager enables better efficiency and user productivity at a reduced total cost of ownership (TCO). The Gryphon 2D Plus is targeted for use in a wide range of AIDC (Automatic Identification and Data Collection) applications for which 2D barcodes are emerging as the preferred symbology.

Building on a Heritage of Product Excellence
"With its great ergonomics and high-throughput, the Gryphon 2D Plus imager is an ideal solution for retail, healthcare, banking, postal, government, and light industrial environments," said Pietro Todescato, General Manager, Handheld Scanning Business Unit. "In addition to offering signature, image and document capture capabilities, the new Gryphon 2D Plus incorporates unique features found only in Datalogic products such as our patented ‘Green Spot' for good-read feedback in noisy environments, and our efficient ‘five dot' laser aiming system designed specifically for reading 2D codes. None of our competitors can offer equivalent product features."

Outstanding Performance Reading Both 1D and 2D Codes
The Gryphon D432/D412 Plus imager combines faster, more powerful reading performance with easy and intuitive scanning from any angle. Customers are impressed with how quickly and easily this product reads the most common linear bar codes; stacked or composite symbologies like PDF417, the emerging GS1 DataBar; the most popular 2D codes such as DataMatrix, MaxiCode, Aztec and QR-code; as well as many Postal Codes.
