The long-reading distance of the D130 is specifically designed for document handling and point-of-sale applications, aiming to eliminate the need to pick up heavy goods to bring them closer to read the barcode.

ProScan was appointed as a local premier distributor for the Datalogic handheld range of barcode readers earlier this year.

The Gryphon long range model is equipped with a linear imager for a longer reading distance that is said to reach up to 43cm on all retail barcodes. It has full connectivity with three different interfaces in a single model: USB, RS232 and Wedge emulation, the company says.

The long range model is available in a choice of two colours: dark grey or white in response to different application needs. The model comes with a five-year warranty, and also features the Datalogic patented green spot for good read feedback.
