ProScan Systems, a leading distributor of supply chain, automated data collection and mobile computing solutions, recently extended the well-known Datalogic Gryphon series of handheld bar code readers with the addition of the Gryphon D130 long-range model.
The long-reading distance of the D130 is specifically designed for document handling and point-of-sale applications, eliminating the need to pick up heavy goods to bring them closer to read the bar code.
ProScan was appointed as a premier distributor for the Datalogic handheld range of bar code readers in South Africa earlier this year.
The Gryphon long-range model is equipped with a new linear imager for a longer reading distance that reaches up to 43cm on all retail bar codes.
Besides reaching a reading distance comparable to the best laser readers on the market, the Gryphon D130 LR has full connectivity with three different interfaces in a single model: USB, RS232 and Wedge emulation.
The long-range model is available in a choice of two colours: dark grey or white in response to different application needs. Datalogic`s constant research for perfect rubber-plastic coupling together with top performing reliable components guarantees durability for the Gryphon D130 LR, which can resist repeated 1.8m drops onto concrete.
Like all the other Gryphon readers, the long range model comes with a five-year warranty, and also features the Datalogic patented green spot for good read feedback.
The Datalogic Group is the third largest manufacturer worldwide of bar code readers and RFID systems. Datalogic`s family of handheld readers, which are leaders in Europe and second in the world, includes contact, instinctive, distance, 2D and cordless versions for retail and industrial applications.
