Unlike currently available prod- ucts, the GFS4400 uses the latest and fastest imaging technology and offers Datalogic’s Green Spot for good read feedback. The scanning technology is essentially the same as the Gryphon I 4400 family of area imagers, with some enhancements for presen- tation reading and improved motion tolerance.
