Datalogic Gryphon 4600 Series 2D Barcode Scanner

Modern Handheld Barcode Scanning for Retail, Healthcare, Manufacturing and Enterprise Applications

The Datalogic Gryphon 4600 Series is a professional handheld barcode-scanning platform designed for organizations requiring reliable 1D and 2D data capture across retail, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, logistics and other enterprise environments.

Introduced by Datalogic in 2026, the Gryphon 4600 expands the company's established Gryphon handheld-scanner platform with multiple configurations rather than a single universal scanner.

The family includes corded GD4600 models, Bluetooth GBT4600 models, STAR Cordless System GM4600 models, standard black configurations and dedicated healthcare versions. Different scan engines are available according to application requirements.

For this reason, customers should select the exact Gryphon 4600 MPN according to barcode density, interface, mobility, charging and application requirements.

Product Overview

The Gryphon 4600 is intended for applications where scanning requirements can extend beyond basic retail barcodes.

Depending on the selected configuration, the family can address:

• Standard 1D and 2D barcodes
• High-density barcodes
• General high-performance scanning
• Printed labels
• Screen-displayed codes
• GS1-related applications
• Digital watermark applications where supported
• OCR applications where supported
• Corded workstation scanning
• Cordless workflows
• Healthcare environments with appropriate HC models

The important point is that not every Gryphon 4600 has the same scan engine, interface, wireless technology or housing.

Gryphon 4600 Family Structure

The model number matters.

GD4620

Corded High Density configuration.

Current Datalogic listings identify GD4620 HD models as single-sensor, USB-only, 5VDC devices.

GD4690

Corded High Performance configuration.

Current GD4690 HP models use a dual-sensor architecture and support USB/RS-232 multi-interface connectivity.

GBT4600

Cordless Bluetooth member of the Gryphon 4600 family.

GM4600

Cordless model using Datalogic's STAR Cordless System, with regional radio configurations depending on exact MPN.

Healthcare Models

Dedicated HC configurations are available and should be selected where the application specifically requires the healthcare model and its corresponding housing/configuration.

Verified Configuration: GD4620-BKK1-HD

One currently verified configuration is:

Manufacturer: Datalogic

Model: Gryphon I GD4620

Part Number: GD4620-BKK1-HD

Scanner Type: Corded handheld scanner

Barcode Capability: 2D imaging, including supported 1D symbologies

Scan Engine: High Density

Sensor Configuration: Single sensor

Interface: USB only

Input: 5VDC

Colour: Black

Kit Contents: Scanner + USB cable

Included USB Cable: Datalogic 90A052258

Datalogic's current catalogue explicitly identifies GD4620-BKK1-HD as the black High Density USB kit containing the scanner and USB cable.

Important Kit Distinction

Several MPNs look very similar but contain different accessories.

For example:

GD4620-BKK1-HD
Scanner + USB cable

GD4620-BKK1B-HD
Scanner + presentation base + USB cable

GD4620-BKK1S-HD
Scanner + stand + USB cable

Therefore, NEOTECH® should not promise a stand or presentation base with GD4620-BKK1-HD.

Datalogic's current configuration catalogue confirms these as separate kits.

High Density Scanning

The GD4620 HD is intended for applications involving smaller or denser barcodes where a High Density scan engine is appropriate.

Potential examples include:

• Small component labels
• Electronics labels
• Compact product labels
• Laboratory labels
• Dense 2D codes
• Small identification labels

High Density should not automatically be interpreted as the correct scanner for every barcode.

Barcode size, module size, working distance and scanning environment should be evaluated before selecting HD over HP.

High Performance Scanning

Customers needing broader general-purpose performance should also evaluate the GD4690 High Performance models.

Unlike the single-sensor GD4620 HD configuration, Datalogic identifies the current GD4690 HP as a dual-sensor platform supporting USB/RS-232 multi-interface connectivity.

This distinction is important when preparing quotations.

GD4620 HD and GD4690 HP should not be treated as interchangeable SKUs.

Barcode Capability

The Gryphon 4600 family supports professional barcode data capture across common 1D and 2D applications.

Depending on the selected configuration and enabled features, the platform can address:

• Linear / 1D barcodes
• 2D matrix codes
• QR codes
• GS1-related codes
• Screen-displayed barcodes
• OCR applications
• Digital watermarking

Datalogic's current Gryphon 4600 technical documentation lists OCR-A, OCR-B and MICR as supported OCR capabilities and Digimarc Barcodes under digital watermarking.

Where a customer's project specifically depends on OCR, Digimarc, GS1 Digital Link or another specialized data format, compatibility should be verified against the exact scanner configuration and application before ordering.

Datalogic Green Spot

The Gryphon 4600 incorporates Datalogic's Green Spot good-read feedback.

This provides a visual indication associated with successful barcode capture and can be useful in environments where audible confirmation may be difficult to hear or undesirable.

Current channel listings for GD4620 also identify Green Spot, additional visual feedback and vibration among the platform's feedback mechanisms.

Corded Scanning

Corded Gryphon 4600 models may be suitable where the scanner remains at a fixed workstation.

Potential environments include:

• Retail checkout
• Pharmacy counter
• Laboratory workstation
• Electronics counter
• Receiving desk
• Packing station
• Manufacturing workstation
• Customer-service desk

A corded scanner can be appropriate where wireless mobility provides little operational benefit.

Cordless Scanning

The Gryphon 4600 family also includes cordless configurations.

Depending on model, Datalogic offers Bluetooth and STAR Cordless System options.

Cordless models should be selected according to:

• Required mobility
• Host connectivity
• Operating distance
• Charging infrastructure
• Battery or SuperCap preference
• Radio requirements
• Number of scanners
• Application environment

Battery and SuperCap Options

Cordless Gryphon 4600 configurations can use different energy-storage arrangements.

Datalogic's current technical data specifies a 3,250mAh lithium-ion battery for applicable cordless models, with more than 80,000 scans stated from a full charge under the manufacturer's test conditions.

The family also offers a SuperCap configuration. Datalogic specifies a 1000F capacitor and substantially shorter charging time, with approximately 7,000 scans from full charge under its stated conditions.

These specifications do not apply to the corded GD4620-BKK1-HD.

Retail Applications

The Gryphon 4600 can be considered for retail environments requiring handheld barcode capture.

Potential workflows include:

• Checkout
• Customer service
• Returns
• Inventory identification
• Product lookup
• Loyalty applications
• Coupon scanning
• Mobile-device displayed codes

The appropriate scanner configuration depends on the actual barcode and POS environment.

Pharmacy and Healthcare

Datalogic provides dedicated healthcare configurations within the Gryphon 4600 family.

Potential data-capture applications may include:

• Product identification
• Inventory
• Laboratory labels
• Specimen-related barcode workflows
• Patient-identification workflows where appropriately integrated

For healthcare environments, NEOTECH® recommends selecting the specific healthcare model rather than assuming a standard black commercial scanner provides the same housing or healthcare-oriented characteristics.

The barcode scanner itself does not provide clinical validation or patient-safety decision making.

Laboratory Applications

High-density scanning may be relevant where laboratories use compact labels and small 2D codes.

Before selecting GD4620 HD, verify:

• Barcode type
• Barcode dimensions
• Module size
• Label surface
• Required working distance
• Host interface
• Cleaning requirements
• Whether healthcare housing is required

A sample barcode test is preferable for critical workflows.

Electronics Applications

Small labels are common on:

• Electronic components
• PCBs
• Devices
• Modules
• Serial-number labels
• Asset labels

The GD4620 High Density configuration may therefore be worth evaluating where conventional general-purpose scanners struggle with the customer's small codes.

Actual readability should still be validated using representative labels.

Light Manufacturing

Potential manufacturing uses include:

• Work-in-process identification
• Component tracking
• Serial-number capture
• Quality-control workflows
• Packing
• Product identification
• Traceability data capture

For more demanding industrial environments involving greater drop exposure, dust, water or extreme operating conditions, customers should also compare dedicated industrial scanner families rather than selecting Gryphon solely because it can read the required barcode.

Purpose of Use

A typical Gryphon 4600 workflow is:

Printed or Screen Barcode

↓

Gryphon 4600 Scanner

↓

1D / 2D Data Capture

↓

USB / RS-232 / Wireless Connection Depending on Model

↓

Compatible Host Application

↓

POS / Inventory / Laboratory / Manufacturing Workflow

The scanner captures barcode information. Business logic, database validation and workflow processing remain functions of the customer's software environment.

GD4620 HD vs GD4690 HP

These are two important corded configurations.

GD4620 HD

High Density

Single sensor

USB only

5VDC

Best evaluated where smaller and denser codes are a primary requirement.

GD4690 HP

High Performance

Dual sensor

USB / RS-232 multi-interface

4.5–14VDC

Better suited to customers requiring the HP scanning configuration and broader interface flexibility.

Datalogic documents these differences directly in its current product catalogue.

Gryphon 4600 vs Gryphon 4500

The Gryphon 4600 is a newer product family and should not overwrite NEOTECH®'s existing Gryphon 4500 pages.

Customers may continue searching for the Gryphon 4500 because they:

• Already operate installed units
• Need an exact replacement
• Require compatible accessories
• Have standardized an existing deployment

The Gryphon 4600 should therefore receive its own page and URL.

Do not automatically present it as a drop-in replacement for every Gryphon 4500 configuration without checking interface, accessories, software and application requirements.

Compatibility

Before ordering a Gryphon 4600, verify:

• Exact model
• Exact manufacturer part number
• HD or HP scan engine
• Corded or cordless requirement
• USB or RS-232 requirement
• Bluetooth or STAR radio requirement
• Standard or healthcare housing
• Barcode types
• Barcode dimensions
• Working distance
• Stand or presentation base requirement
• Host operating system
• Business application
• Charging arrangement for cordless models
• Regional radio configuration where applicable

Things to Verify Before Ordering

For the most accurate quotation, please provide:

• Required quantity
• Exact MPN if already specified
• Sample barcode or barcode type
• Smallest barcode dimensions
• Typical scanning distance
• Host device
• Required interface
• Corded or cordless preference
• Standard or healthcare environment
• Stand/base requirement
• Existing scanner model if this is a replacement project

Where barcode density is unusual, providing a sample barcode can help determine whether HD or HP is the more appropriate configuration.

Who Should Consider the Gryphon 4600?

The Gryphon 4600 may be considered by organizations requiring professional handheld scanning in:

• Retail
• Pharmacy
• Healthcare
• Laboratories
• Electronics
• Manufacturing
• Transportation
• Logistics
• Customer service
• Inventory operations

Customers needing basic occasional barcode scanning should compare the required functionality and budget before selecting a premium enterprise scanner platform.

Why NEOTECH® UAE?

The biggest purchasing risk with the Gryphon 4600 is not identifying the family — it is ordering the wrong configuration within the family.

For example:

GD4620-BKK1-HD

is not the same product configuration as:

GD4690-BKK1-HP

and neither should be confused with:

GBT4600

or

GM4600.

NEOTECH® therefore recommends selecting the scanner from the application requirement and exact manufacturer part number, rather than purchasing only by the name “Gryphon 4600.”
