The year 2000 kicked off with another milestone in the Datalogic’s product portfolio: the Gryphon was the world’s first high performance linear imager with Green Spot technology, the simplest and most straightforward method to confirm a positive read. This breakthrough technology proved to be essential in noisy environments, where audio confirmation (the beeper) may not be heard. This feature would become a distinguishing mark of all Datalogic’s readers and mobile computers.
