Datalogic Gryphon 4600 Series Handheld 2D Scanners

Brand - Datalogic

The Datalogic Gryphon 4600 Series is a premium family of handheld 2D scanners designed for value-added applications that require fast, reliable and flexible barcode reading. Available in corded and cordless versions, the series is suitable for retail, light manufacturing, healthcare, access control, transportation, entertainment and commercial service environments. Unlike the Gryphon 4200 Series, which is focused on 1D linear imaging, the Gryphon 4600 Series is built for omnidirectional 1D and 2D barcode reading. It supports standard 1D linear codes, GS1 DataBar linear codes, common 2D codes, GS1 Digital Link, Digimarc Barcodes, OCR and image capture. A key strength of the Gryphon 4600 Series is its AI barcode neural decoding. The scanner combines a high-speed dual-core processor, AI-driven algorithms and advanced neural network-based decoding technology. This improves scanning speed, enhances 1D and 2D barcode decoding and helps the scanner read damaged, poorly printed, distorted or difficult codes more effectively. The Gryphon 4600 Series is also designed to perform well on challenging surfaces. The source highlights improved performance when scanning barcodes on shiny, reflective or curved surfaces, making the series useful in retail, manufacturing and healthcare workflows where label quality or surface conditions may vary. The series is available in High Performance and High Density model directions. High Performance models use dual optics with a 1.5 MP sensor and a VGA sensor, supporting strong depth of field and near-to-far reading. High Density models use a single 1.5 MP sensor and are suited to smaller, dense, high-resolution barcodes. Reading capability is broad. The Gryphon 4600 Series reads standard 1D codes, Aztec Code, China Han Xin Code, Data Matrix, MaxiCode, Micro QR Code, QR Code, Dot Code and GS1 Digital Link. It also supports postal codes, stacked codes including PDF417 and MicroPDF417, Digimarc Barcodes and OCR-A, OCR-B and MICR. The scanner is designed for intuitive operation. A highly visible green central cross LED aimer helps users target barcodes accurately. Dual-color LED illumination with user-selectable warm white and red light allows the scanner to adapt to different application needs on the fly. Good-read feedback is a major usability advantage. Datalogic Green Spot projects a confirmation directly on the code, while 3GL / Three Green Lights and vibration feedback provide additional confirmation. This is especially useful in noisy environments, healthcare settings, retail counters or applications where visual confirmation is important. Motionix motion-sensing technology supports seamless reading mode transitions. This helps the scanner move naturally between handheld and presentation-style use, improving efficiency for operators who switch frequently between scanning modes. The Gryphon 4600 Series is available in corded and cordless versions. Corded models include GD4620 High Density models with USB Type C / USB only connectivity, and GD4690 High Performance models with USB Type C / USB / RS-232 multi-interface support. Cordless models include GBT4600 with Bluetooth 5.2 Classic and Low Energy technology, and GM4600 with Datalogic STAR Cordless System. The GBT4600 supports SPP, HID and HOGP profiles, data encryption, scanner authentication, up to seven readers per base station and up to 100 m / 328 ft open-air range in Class 1 operation. The GM4600 uses Datalogic STAR Cordless System with 433.92 MHz and 915 MHz frequency options. It supports point-to-point and point-to-multipoint configurations, two-way communication, up to 16 readers per radio receiver and a minimum open-air range of 50 m / 164 ft. Wireless charging is one of the key operational advantages of the cordless Gryphon 4600 models. Inductive charging eliminates the need for exposed charging contacts, reducing cleaning and maintenance requirements. This helps lower total cost of ownership and supports reliable 24/7 operation. The cordless models can use either a high-capacity lithium-ion battery pack or a SuperCapacitor pack. The lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 3,250 mAh, charges from empty to full in 3.5 hours and supports more than 80,000 scans from a full charge. The SuperCapacitor pack has a 1000 F capacity, charges from empty to full in 30 minutes and supports 7,000 scans from a full charge. The Gryphon 4600 Series is also designed with sustainability in mind. The source describes an Ecodesign and LCA-based approach focused on reducing environmental impact through optimized energy efficiency, recycled materials, reduced packaging volume and weight, and increased durability. Reader and base station plastic parts use over 70% recycled content and are 100% recyclable. Healthcare and white-color models are available with disinfectant-ready enclosures treated with antimicrobial additives. These enclosures are ISO 22196 compliant and designed to withstand daily cleaning with harsh disinfectant solutions, making them suitable for laboratories, pharmacies and in-room patient care environments. The scanners are built for demanding daily use. They withstand repeated drops from 1.8 m / 6.0 ft onto concrete, are designed to withstand 2,000 tumbles from 0.5 m / 1.5 ft and support 10 million trigger hits. They offer IP52 sealing, 16 kV ESD air discharge protection, 0–95% non-condensing humidity tolerance and operation from 0 to 50°C. Reading performance is strong across common barcode types. The scanner supports 70 IPS motion tolerance, 15% minimum print contrast, 360° roll reading, 3 mil maximum resolution for 1D and PDF417, and 4 mil maximum resolution for Data Matrix. High Performance models provide extended reading range, including EAN / UPC 13 mil codes from 0 to 100 cm and Code 39 20 mil codes from 0 to 125 cm, depending on label size, print quality, contrast and ambient light. High Density models are better suited to closer-range, dense code applications. The physical design is compact and ergonomic. Corded and cordless models measure 18 x 6.5 x 7.9 cm. Corded models weigh 144 g, while cordless models weigh 218 g with battery included. Corded models with presentation mode base measure 21 x 7.5 x 10.9 cm and weigh 426 g. Enterprise tools are also available. Datalogic Aladdin supports configuration, while Datalogic Connect provides an IoT cloud platform for remote control, management and actionable insights across deployed Datalogic devices. JavaPOS, OPOS and Android SDK utilities are available, and Remote Host Download can help reduce service costs and improve operations. Overall, the Datalogic Gryphon 4600 Series is a premium handheld 2D scanner family for businesses that need fast and reliable barcode reading across 1D, 2D, GS1 Digital Link, Digimarc and OCR workflows. Its strongest value lies in AI neural decoding, dual optics on HP models, high-density capability on HD models, green cross aimer, dual-color illumination, Green Spot, 3GL, vibration feedback, Motionix, Bluetooth or STAR cordless models, inductive charging, battery or SuperCap power options, disinfectant-ready healthcare versions and sustainability-focused design.
