Datalogic Gryphon 4500 Series Barcode Scanners

Premium 1D and 2D Handheld Barcode Scanning

The Datalogic Gryphon 4500 Series is a premium range of handheld barcode scanners designed for businesses that need fast, accurate and reliable data capture throughout the working day.

Combining high-performance 2D imaging with an ergonomic design, the Gryphon 4500 Series is suitable for demanding applications across retail, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, logistics and general commercial environments.

Available in corded and cordless configurations, the range provides businesses with the flexibility to choose the scanner and connectivity technology that best suits their operation.

High-Performance 1D and 2D Barcode Scanning

At the heart of the Gryphon 4500 Series is a high-performance megapixel imaging sensor designed to provide excellent barcode reading performance across a wide field of view and depth of field.

The range supports a comprehensive selection of barcode formats, including:

Standard 1D barcodes
QR Codes
Data Matrix
PDF417
MicroPDF417
Aztec Code
MaxiCode
Micro QR
GS1 DataBar
GS1 composite codes
Postal codes
DotCode
Digimarc barcodes on compatible configurations

This makes the Gryphon 4500 a versatile choice for organisations that need to capture multiple barcode types using a single device.

Scan Barcodes from Mobile Screens

The Gryphon 4500 Series can capture compatible barcodes displayed on electronic screens as well as conventional printed labels.

This makes it suitable for applications involving:

Mobile coupons
Digital loyalty cards
Electronic tickets
QR codes
Smartphone-based identification
Digital membership cards

For retail and customer-facing applications, this allows the same scanner to process product barcodes and digital codes presented by customers.

Precise 4-Dot Aiming System

The Gryphon 4500 uses Datalogic's distinctive four-dot aiming system with a central cross.

This clearly defines the scanner's reading area, helping operators accurately target the correct barcode.

This can be particularly useful when multiple barcodes are positioned close together and the operator needs to capture one specific code.

Datalogic Green Spot Technology

The Gryphon 4500 incorporates Datalogic's Green Spot technology, which projects visual confirmation directly onto the barcode when it has been successfully captured.

This provides employees with immediate good-read feedback without needing to look away from the item being scanned.

Visual confirmation can be particularly valuable in busy or noisy environments where an audible scanner beep may be difficult to hear.

Comfortable Warm-White Illumination

Instead of relying solely on intense coloured illumination, the Gryphon 4500 uses warm-white illumination designed to provide comfortable operation during frequent scanning.

The illumination also helps the scanner capture barcodes printed on a wider variety of coloured backgrounds.

Combined with its balanced ergonomic design, the Gryphon 4500 is well suited to employees who need to scan continuously throughout a shift.

Corded or Cordless – Choose the Right Gryphon 4500

The Datalogic Gryphon 4500 Series is available in several configurations.

Datalogic GD4500

The GD4500 is the corded version of the Gryphon 4500.

It is ideal for fixed workstations, checkout counters, desks and other environments where the scanner remains close to its host system.

For businesses that don't require cordless mobility, the GD4500 provides premium scanning performance without batteries or charging requirements.

Datalogic GBT4500

The GBT4500 provides cordless operation using Bluetooth technology.

It is ideal for environments where operators need the freedom to move away from a workstation or connect to compatible Bluetooth-enabled equipment.

Datalogic GM4500

The GM4500 uses Datalogic's STAR Cordless System for wireless communication.

It is designed for businesses that require dependable proprietary wireless connectivity and greater control over cordless scanner deployments.

Contactless Wireless Charging

One of the standout features of cordless Gryphon 4500 models is Datalogic's wireless charging technology.

Instead of relying on exposed electrical charging contacts between the scanner and cradle, compatible Gryphon 4500 models use inductive charging.

Removing physical charging contacts can help reduce wear, dirt build-up and maintenance associated with conventional charging systems.

Simply placing the scanner into its compatible charging cradle allows the battery to recharge.

Excellent Cordless Battery Performance

Cordless Gryphon 4500 models use a high-capacity 3250mAh lithium-ion battery.

Under suitable operating conditions, the scanner can provide up to approximately 80,000 reads from a charge.

This makes the cordless Gryphon 4500 particularly well suited to demanding applications where scanners need to remain available throughout long working shifts.

Built for Everyday Commercial Use

The Gryphon 4500 combines its premium appearance with commercial-grade durability.

The scanner is designed to withstand repeated drops from heights of up to 1.8 metres onto concrete.

Its trigger is also engineered for up to 10 million activations, helping the scanner cope with intensive scanning applications.

This combination makes the Gryphon 4500 suitable for organisations looking for a professional scanner designed for long-term business use.

Hands-Free Presentation Scanning

Compatible Gryphon 4500 cradles and stands allow the scanner to operate in presentation mode.

This enables employees to move products or barcodes in front of the scanner without having to pick it up for every scan.

When handheld scanning is required, the scanner can simply be removed from the stand.

This combination of presentation and handheld scanning is particularly useful at retail checkouts, service counters and other high-volume scanning locations.

Which Gryphon 4500 Model Do I Need?

Choosing the correct Gryphon 4500 depends primarily on how and where you intend to use the scanner.

Choose the GD4500 if you need a corded scanner for a fixed POS terminal, workstation or desk.

Choose the GBT4500 if you need cordless operation using Bluetooth connectivity.

Choose the GM4500 if you need Datalogic's dedicated STAR Cordless System for your wireless scanner deployment.

Different optical, colour, interface and healthcare configurations are also available, so it is important to check the complete part number before ordering.

Standard or High-Density Scanning?

Standard-range Gryphon 4500 models are suitable for most everyday retail, logistics and general business barcode applications.

High-density configurations are available for applications involving particularly small or densely printed barcodes.

If your organisation needs to scan very small barcodes, electronic components or specialised labels, a high-density configuration may be more appropriate.

Gryphon 4500 for Healthcare

Dedicated healthcare versions of the Gryphon 4500 are available for clinical environments.

These configurations are designed for applications such as patient identification, medication administration, laboratory tracking and specimen identification.

When purchasing for a healthcare environment, make sure you select the appropriate healthcare-specific Gryphon configuration rather than assuming a standard commercial model is suitable.

Why Choose the Datalogic Gryphon 4500?

The Gryphon 4500 is designed for businesses looking for more than an entry-level barcode scanner.

Its megapixel imaging technology provides comprehensive 1D and 2D barcode capture, while Datalogic technologies such as Green Spot feedback, Motionix motion sensing and precise four-dot aiming help make repetitive scanning quick and intuitive.

Cordless versions add the convenience of contactless wireless charging, while the range's robust construction helps it withstand demanding everyday commercial use.

For organisations deploying scanners across retail, healthcare, manufacturing or logistics environments, the Gryphon 4500 provides a premium and highly configurable barcode scanning platform.
