Datalogic Gryphon 4200 Series Handheld Linear Imagers

Brand - Datalogic

The Datalogic Gryphon 4200 Series is a premium family of handheld linear imagers designed for value-added applications using 1D barcodes. The series is available in corded and cordless versions, giving businesses flexibility across retail, commercial services, light manufacturing, healthcare and access control workflows. The Gryphon 4200 Series is focused on 1D barcode reading. It is not a 2D area imager scanner. Its main strength is high-performance linear imaging for standard 1D codes, including GS1 DataBar linear codes, high-density codes, low-resolution codes and difficult, poorly printed or damaged barcodes. Datalogic’s enhanced linear imaging technology gives the Gryphon 4200 readers strong reading performance across a wide depth of field. The scanners can capture barcodes from near to far and can read both high-density and low-resolution 1D codes. This makes the series suitable for point-of-sale, document handling, work-in-progress tracking, order processing, pharmacy, laboratory and ticketing workflows. The series also supports reading barcodes from mobile devices. This is important for modern retail and service applications where customers may present barcodes on smartphone screens, such as loyalty identifiers, tickets, service references or access control codes. The Gryphon 4200 Series is designed for maximum operator efficiency. Datalogic Motionix motion-sensing technology automatically switches the scanner into ready-to-read mode. It also activates the distinctive soft line viewfinder, helping users quickly and accurately target the barcode to be read. Good-read feedback is another key usability feature. Datalogic Green Spot technology projects a clear confirmation directly on the code, while 3GL / Three Green Lights feedback adds dual Good Read LEDs. This is especially useful in noisy environments, dim lighting or situations where the operator cannot rely only on the beeper. The Gryphon 4200 Series is available in multiple model directions. Corded models include GD4220 and GD4290. The GD4220 supports USB Type C / USB only, while the GD4290 supports USB Type C / USB / RS-232 multi-interface connectivity. Cordless models include GBT4200 with Bluetooth wireless technology and GM4200 with Datalogic STAR Cordless System radio communication. The GBT4200 uses Bluetooth 5.0 certified wireless technology, supporting HID and SPP profiles. It supports up to seven readers per radio receiver and offers open-air radio range up to 100 m / 328 ft when used with the base station. Security features include data encryption and scanner authentication. The GM4200 uses Datalogic STAR Cordless System with 433.92 MHz or 910 MHz radio options. It supports two-way communication, point-to-point operation and multi-point configuration with up to 16 readers per radio receiver. Open-air radio range is up to 50 m / 164 ft. One of the most important innovations in the cordless Gryphon 4200 models is wireless battery charging. The inductive charging system eliminates the need for exposed charging contacts, reducing the need for contact cleaning and maintenance. This helps lower total cost of ownership and supports 24/7 operations with fewer interruptions for charging-related service. The cordless models use a replaceable 2550 mAh lithium-ion battery. Charge time is 4 hours with external power at 12 VDC, and the scanner supports up to 80,000 reads per charge. Available cradle options include the WLC4190 sleek desk / wall cradle with USB Type C connectivity and the WLC4090 adjustable position cradle with Scan-While-Charging capability. The Gryphon 4200 Series is built for regular cleaning and disinfection. Disinfectant-Ready enclosures are designed to withstand daily cleaning with harsh disinfectant solutions commonly used in healthcare environments. This makes the series suitable for laboratories, pharmacies and other shared-use workspaces where scanner hygiene is important. The scanner is also durable for daily business use. It withstands repeated drops from 1.8 m / 6.0 ft onto concrete, supports 16 kV ESD air discharge protection and has IP52 sealing. Operating temperature is 0 to 50°C, with storage temperature from -20 to 70°C. Humidity tolerance is 0–95% non-condensing, and ambient light tolerance is 0–130,000 lux. Reading performance is strong for a linear imager. The scanner uses a CCD solid-state imager sensor with a dual LED array light source at 612–630 nm. Maximum read rate is 1,000,000 pixels per second / 400 reads per second. Minimum print contrast is 15%, and maximum resolution is 3 mils. Typical reading ranges include Code 39 5 mils from 5.0 to 37 cm, Code 39 7.5 mils from 5.0 to 54 cm, Code 39 10 mils from 5.0 to 73.5 cm, Code 39 20 mils from 2.5 to 147 cm and EAN / UPC 13 mils from 3.5 to 90 cm. These ranges make the Gryphon 4200 Series suitable for both close-range and longer-range 1D barcode reading tasks. The physical design is compact and ergonomic. Both corded and cordless models measure 16.6 x 6.8 x 10.9 cm. Corded models weigh 163 g, while cordless models weigh 235 g with battery included. Black and white color options are available. The Gryphon 4200 Series supports enterprise deployment tools. Datalogic Aladdin configuration software is available at no charge, along with OPOS and JavaPOS utilities. Remote Host Download can help lower service costs and improve operations. Typical applications include retail point of sale, post offices, bank offices, public administration, utilities, light manufacturing work-in-progress, order processing, laboratories, pharmacies, access control, ticketing and entertainment. Overall, the Datalogic Gryphon 4200 Series is a premium 1D handheld linear imager family for businesses that need excellent 1D scanning performance, operator comfort, strong feedback, corded or cordless flexibility, disinfectant-ready housing and reliable wireless charging options. Its strongest value lies in enhanced linear imaging, Motionix, soft line viewfinder, Green Spot, 3GL feedback, Bluetooth or STAR cordless models, inductive charging, long battery life and robust day-to-day reliability.
