Datalogic’s New GPS4400 On-Counter Presentation Scanner
The Gryphon GPS4400 scanner is a new presentation scanner in a stylish body available in shiny white or dark grey. The GPS4400 scanner offers all the capabilities and performances of the Gryphon GD4400 handheld scanner, but in a presentation-style shape. The scanner can be used by itself or in combination with its sliding semi-circular stand. By itself, this scanner allows minimum volume occupancy and can be appropriate when reading small items or it can be positioned over a shelf or console in an elevated position.
When the scanner is placed in the stand, it is elevated in height making it easier to read larger items and allows the scanner to be oriented in a more natural position depending on the application and the needs of the user. The stand also includes 2 holes which allow the stand to be attached to a wall or bench in a vertical position by using 2 screws. The screws holes are mechanically compatible with the Magellan 1100i stand, simplifying the replacement of an existing 1100i scanner with the new Gryphon GPS4400 scanner.

Barcode Hair?
While barcodes are a crucial tool for trade and commerce, they have also sneaked their way into cultural norms as well. From being used as props in sci-fi films to barcode tattoos, the humble barcode has become such a commonplace item that it is only natural it has become an object of popular culture.
Probably one of the funniest uses of the term barcode comes from Japan. “Barcode hair” is a commonly used term to describe a balding gentleman that comes over his hair. As you can see in the image, barcode is the first thing to come to mind. Not the most endearing term but definitely descriptive.
I wonder if a 2D imager could read this?
