Product Features
Technical Overview
At its core, the GD4590 employs a laser-based imager sensor with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, enabling it to auto-discriminate and decode all standard 1D linear codes—including GS1 DataBar—plus a comprehensive array of 2D codes like QR Code, Data Matrix, Aztec, PDF417, and postal codes from multiple regions. The scanner maintains a minimum print contrast of just 15% and operates in ambient light up to 100,000 lux.
Its omni-directional scanning covers a 65° skew and pitch range with full 360° roll, supported by a motion tolerance of 35 inches per second. The unit captures grayscale images in BMP, JPEG, or TIFF formats and includes white LED illumination for consistent performance in varied lighting conditions.

User Manual
FAQ
What types of barcodes can the Datalogic GD4590 scanner read?
The GD4590 reads both 1D and 2D barcodes. For 1D, it auto-discriminates all standard linear codes including GS1 DataBar. For 2D, it supports Aztec Code, China Han Xin Code, Data Matrix, MaxiCode, Micro QR Code, QR Code, Dot Code, multiple postal codes (Australian Post, British Post, etc.), stacked codes like PDF417 and MacroPDF, and digital watermarking via Digimarc barcodes.
How does the omni-directional scanning feature work?
The scanner's omni-directional scan pattern allows it to read barcodes presented at various angles without requiring precise alignment. It covers a 65° reading angle for both skew and pitch, plus a full 360° roll angle. This flexibility speeds up scanning operations by reducing the need for careful barcode presentation, especially useful in high-volume environments.
What connectivity options does this barcode scanner support?
The GD4590 uses cable connectivity with multiple host interface options: keyboard wedge, USB, and serial (RS-232). The keyboard wedge interface allows it to emulate keyboard input, making it plug-and-play compatible with most systems without additional drivers. The multi-interface capability provides deployment flexibility across different POS and inventory management setups.
How durable is the Gryphon I GD4590 for industrial use?
This scanner is built for tough environments. It withstands repeated drops from 1.8 meters (6 feet) onto concrete surfaces and carries an IP52 ingress protection rating, meaning it's protected against dust and dripping water. These features, combined with its wide operating temperature range of 32°F to 122°F, make it suitable for retail floors, warehouses, and light manufacturing settings.
What is the motion tolerance of this scanner?
The GD4590 has a motion tolerance of 35 inches per second (889 mm/s), meaning it can accurately read barcodes even when the scanner or barcode is moving at that speed. This high motion tolerance ensures reliable scanning during rapid hand movements or when scanning items on conveyor belts, reducing missed reads in fast-paced operations.
In what applications is the GD4590 most commonly used?
This scanner is designed for healthcare, retail, light/clean manufacturing, transportation, commercial service, laboratory, and pharmacy applications. Specific use cases include point-of-sale transaction processing, medication administration verification in hospitals, inventory management in warehouses, asset tracking in logistics, and quality control in manufacturing environments.
