Datalogic Gryphon I GD4590 — Premium 2D Scanner, High Density
Premium hand-held barcode imager with advanced Megapixel sensor and white-illumination 2D technology for outstanding omnidirectional reading performance on all common 1D, 2D, postal, stacked and composite codes.
Key Features
| Megapixel 2D Imager | 1280 x 800 sensor reads 1D/linear codes, 2D codes (Data Matrix, QR, Aztec, MaxiCode, Han Xin), PDF417, postal and stacked/composite codes. |
| High Density Optics | HD variant optimized for tiny, densely-printed barcodes — pharmacy labels, small electronics, jewelry tags, PCB marks. |
| Motionix Technology | Motion-sensing automatically switches between handheld and presentation mode based on user actions — with or without the stand. |
| White Illumination | Warm-white LED is easier on operator eyes and improves reading of colored and reflective labels vs. traditional red light. |
| 4-Dot Aimer with Center Cross | Precise targeting zone reduces mis-reads and makes it easy to pick one code out of a dense cluster. |
| Multi-Interface | USB, RS-232 and Keyboard Wedge in one device — plug into any POS or back-office system without extra hardware. |

Frequently Asked Questions
A: This model (GD4590-BK-B-HD) ships with the scanner and All-in-One Permanent Base. Interface cables (USB, RS-232 or Keyboard Wedge) are typically sold separately depending on your host system — please confirm at checkout or contact us for a bundle.
A: The HD (High Density) variant is optimized for reading very small, densely-printed barcodes at close range — ideal for pharmacy, electronics manufacturing and jewelry. The standard version has a longer depth-of-field, better for general POS retail where scan distance varies.
A: Yes. The Megapixel 2D imager handles mobile screens well — loyalty cards, e-tickets, mobile coupons and digital boarding passes are all supported.
A: Yes — in Keyboard Wedge mode via USB it operates as a plug-and-play HID keyboard device on Windows, macOS and Linux without drivers. For advanced configuration, Datalogic provides Aladdin configuration software (Windows).
BUYER'S GUIDE
Buy this if: You need a premium-grade, reliable corded scanner for daily POS use and you scan small, dense or high-resolution barcodes (pharmacy, electronics, jewelry). The dual handheld/presentation mode with Motionix gives you flexibility without extra hardware.
Skip this if: You need wireless/Bluetooth operation (look at GBT4500 cordless), long-range scanning across a warehouse (consider PowerScan 9000 series) or a budget 1D-only scanner where a GD4520 or QuickScan would be more cost-effective.
Pro tip: Order the matching interface cable at checkout (USB is the most common). The All-in-One Permanent Base is already included — no need to buy a separate stand.
