Premium Handheld Linear Imager
The Datalogic Gryphon GD4290-BK is a corded 1D barcode scanner built for high-volume point-of-sale and document-handling environments. Enhanced linear imaging technology reads high-density and low-resolution codes, including damaged labels and barcodes displayed on mobile screens. A soft-line viewfinder helps operators target the correct symbol quickly, while patented Green Spot and 3GL feedback confirm every good read. Motionix motion-sensing automatically switches between handheld and presentation modes for seamless workflow transitions.
Check Power and Interface Compatibility
The scanner operates on 4.5 to 14.0 VDC and draws less than 350 mA at 5 V or 150 mA at 12 V during use, with idle current below 60 mA at 5 V or 30 mA at 12 V. Verify that your host system can supply this voltage range through the USB Type-C connection. Multi-interface firmware supports USB only or USB plus additional interfaces, so confirm which configuration matches your terminal before ordering. No external power adapter is included; power is delivered over the USB cable.
Sustained-Shift Durability
Designed for continuous daily use, the unit withstands repeated drops from 1.8 m onto concrete without failure. Operating current remains stable at typical loads, and standby draw drops to minimal levels between scans, reducing thermal stress during long shifts. The scanner weighs 163.0 g and measures 16.6 x 6.8 x 10.9 cm, balancing rugged construction with ergonomic comfort for all-day handheld operation.

Questions about this item
Does the Datalogic GD4290-BK include the USB cable in the box, or must it be purchased separately?
The scanner ships with a USB cable included, so no separate cable purchase is required.
The GD4290 operates on 4.5–14.0 VDC while the GD4220 uses 5 VDC; which version should I choose?
Choose the GD4290 when the host supplies 4.5–14.0 VDC, or the GD4220 for a strict 5 VDC supply.
What does the 0.077 mm resolution mean when scanning a 5-mil Code 39 label in practice?
At 5 mils the scanner reads from 5 to 37 cm away, so the 0.077 mm spec translates to reliable near-to-mid-range capture.
