Product Features
Technical Overview
The GD4520 scanner features a 1280 x 800 pixel image sensor resolution that captures detailed grayscale images in JPEG, TIFF, or BMP formats. Its laser light source operates effectively in ambient light up to 100,000 lux, while the integrated white LED illumination assists in low-light conditions.
Reading angles of 65° skew, 65° pitch, and 360° roll provide exceptional flexibility, and the 35 in/s (889 mm/s) motion tolerance accommodates rapid scanning workflows. The scanner maintains reliable performance with barcodes having minimum print contrast as low as 15%.
