What are the key features of Zebra Z-Band Direct wristbands?
Zebra Z-Band Direct wristbands feature a 2.0 mil white coated polypropylene face stock with permanent acrylic adhesive and tamper-evident security slits that prevent reapplication once removed. The wristbands are direct thermal compatible, latex-free, and MR-Safe, with images resistant to smearing, abrasion, water, alcohol, mild cleaners, and blood. We offer these wristbands in 1x11" (25.4x279.4mm) format, 200 per roll, 6 rolls per box, making them ideal for healthcare and hospitality applications.
What barcode types can the Datalogic GPS4490 scanner read?
The Datalogic Gryphon GPS4490 is a 2D area imager that reads both 1D linear codes (including all standard barcodes and GS1 DataBar formats) and 2D codes such as QR Code, Data Matrix, Aztec Code, and Micro QR Code. It also supports postal codes from multiple countries and stacked codes like PDF417 and GS1 DataBar Composites, making it highly versatile for warehouse and retail environments.
How long do Z-Band Direct wristbands remain scannable?
Z-Band Direct wristbands remain scannable for up to 14 days, ensuring reliable barcode performance throughout patient stays or guest interactions. The wristbands feature a silver antimicrobial coating that protects the barcode image and maintains scan quality over extended periods. This durability has been validated through laboratory testing to ensure optimum image durability and scanning performance.
Is the GPS4490 suitable for space-constrained retail or warehouse environments?
Yes, the GPS4490 is specifically designed for space-constrained environments with a compact footprint. The scanner measures just 7.4 x 9.5 x 6.4 cm without its stand, and the adjustable stand can be easily removed if not needed, allowing you to optimize counter space while maintaining hands-free scanning capability or handheld operation as needed.
What printers are compatible with Z-Band Direct wristbands?
Z-Band Direct wristbands are compatible with Zebra's HC100 wristband printer, which features quick and easy cartridge loading with automatic print speed settings up to 4 inches per second for Z-Band media. The HC100 offers direct thermal printing of barcodes, text, and graphics with 300 dpi resolution and tool-less printhead replacement for convenient maintenance. Contact us today to discuss printer and wristband combinations that fit your workflow.
What connectivity options are available with the GPS4490?
The Datalogic GPS4490 offers flexible connectivity through both RS-232 serial and USB interfaces. USB support includes OEM USB, USB COM, and USB HID Keyboard modes, allowing seamless integration with most POS systems, warehouse management software, and modern computing environments available from us.
Are Z-Band Direct wristbands safe for MRI environments?
Yes, Z-Band Direct wristbands are MR-Safe and contain no metal content in or on the wristbands. The direct thermal imaging chemistry is composed primarily of leuco dyes and developers, with UV varnishes and water-based inks, making them safe for use in magnetic resonance imaging environments.

How durable is the GPS4490 in harsh warehouse or retail conditions?
The GPS4490 is built to withstand demanding environments with IP52 particulate and water sealing, 90% non-condensing humidity tolerance, and the ability to survive repeated drops from 1.2 meters (4 feet) onto concrete. It also features 16 kV ESD protection and operates reliably in ambient light conditions from 0 to 100,000 lux, making it ideal for warehouses and outdoor loading areas.
How quickly can staff print and apply Z-Band Direct wristbands?
Staff can quickly and easily print and securely fasten Z-Band Direct wristbands in less than a minute using either an adhesive tab or color clip closure. The Zebra HC100 printer enables instant media calibration with no wasted media, and the wristbands feature a 1.5 mil polyester liner for smooth, reliable printing. This rapid deployment capability improves staff productivity and patient identification accuracy in fast-paced healthcare settings.
Can the GPS4490 operate in both handheld and presentation scanning modes?
Yes, the GPS4490 is an omnidirectional presentation scanner with a removable adjustable stand that enables hands-free scanning of small items on a counter. When bulkier items need scanning, the stand can be removed and the scanner used as a handheld device, providing flexibility for diverse retail and warehouse applications.
What makes Z-Band Direct wristbands resistant to damage in clinical environments?
Z-Band Direct wristbands feature a durable 2.0 mil coated polypropylene construction with images specifically engineered to resist smearing, abrasion, water, alcohol, mild cleaners, blood, and other common clinical substances. The permanent acrylic adhesive and polyester liner provide secure adhesion even with frequent hand washing and patient movement. We offer these clinically-tested wristbands to ensure patient safety and reliable barcode scanning in demanding healthcare environments.
What are the power requirements for the GPS4490 scanner?
The GPS4490 requires 5 VDC (+/- 5%) input voltage and draws approximately 175 mA during typical operation (maximum 200 mA). In standby mode with automatic object sensing, current draw drops to 105 mA, helping reduce power consumption in always-on retail and warehouse environments.
