About the Reader Introduction

About the Reader

Typically, units are factory-programmed for the most common terminal and communications
settings. If you need to modify any programmable settings, custom configuration can be
accomplished by scanning the programming bar codes within this guide.

Two models of the Gryphon 2D are available, and are covered in this manual:

• G

ryphon I GD44XX - Corded 2D imager bar code reader

• Gryphon I GBT4400 - M

odel with Bluetooth options.

application which is downloadable from the Datalogic website listed on the back cover of this
manual. This multi-platform utility program allows device configuration using a PC. It
communicates to the device using a serial or USB cable and can also create configuration bar
codes to print.

Advancements in the LED technology used in the imager-based readers significantly improve
the

illumination of the target field of view, resulting in higher scan efficiency. Whether used in
Single Trigger or Continuous Mode, the ergonomic design of the reader will help to promote
comfortable handling during extended periods of use.

The Base contains a button which is used primarily to perform a paging function. Pressing the
button causes a sound signal to be emitted by all scanners linked with this Base, as long as the
scanner is awake (see Powerdown Timeout on page 250) and reception is enabled (see LED and

Beeper Indicators on page 92). The button can also be used to "force device connection" via the

BC40XX UV Counterfeit Detection Introduction

UV LEDs

BC40XX UV Counterfeit Detection

The BC40XX Radio Base is available with a UV Counterfeit Money Detector, typically used to
verify the authenticity of bank notes. Other uses for counterfeit detection are passport, ticket,
credit card, travelers’ check and similar applications where it is possible to detect fluorescent
marks with UV light.

The detector contains eight special UV LEDs, as shown below:

The Counterfeit Detector is based on UV fluorescent emission. Real banknotes under
ultraviolet rays usually absorb the UV light and will show special marks made with fluorescent
inks. On the other hand, most counterfeit banknotes only reflect the UV lights, without
showing fluorescent marks.

To us e:

1. Quickly press the Base button to light the UV LEDs.

2. Hold the item to be verified under the LED lights to ensure that the special fluorescent
marks are visible.

Introduction Battery Safety

3. The LEDs are set to switch off automatically after about 2 minutes. To keep the UV LEDs
in always-on mode, quickly press the Base button a second time within 10 seconds of the
first press. To switch them off, simply press the button again.

An external power supply is necessary for full functionality of the Base station with UV
Counterfeit Detector. Use only the recommended AC adapter 12Vdc.

As with other types of batteries, Lithium-Ion (LI) batteries will lose capacity over time. Capacity
deterioration is noticeable after one year of service whether the battery is in use or not. It is
difficult to precisely predict the finite life of a LI battery, but cell manufacturers rate them at
500 charge cycles. In other words, the batteries should be expected to take 500 full discharge /
charge cycles before needing replacement. This number is higher if partial discharging /
recharging is adhered to rather than full / deep discharging.

Storage of batteries for long time at fully charged status or at fully discharged status should be
avoided.

Only in case of long storage, to avoid deep discharge of the battery it is recommended to partially
recharge the battery every three months to keep the charge status at a medium level.

er

As a reference, run a fast recharge for 20 minutes ev
any performance deterioration of the cell.

y three months on unused products to avoid

The useful life of LI batteries depends on usage and number of charges, etc., after which they
should be removed from service, especially in mission critical applications. Do not continue to
use a battery showing excessive loss of capacity, it should be properly recycled / disposed of and
replaced.

Collect and recycle waste batteries separately from

the device in compliance with European
Directive 2006/66/EC, 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and subsequent modifications, US and
China regulatory and others laws and regulations about the environment.

Introduction Programming the Reader

Programming the Reader

Configuration Methods

Programming Bar Codes

The reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After scanning the
interface bar code, you can select other options and customize your reader through use of the
instructions and programming bar code labels available in the corresponding features section for
your interface. Customizable settings for many features are found in "Configuration Parameters"

starting on page 37.

Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults" on page 34, require only the scan of the
single label to enact the change. Most, however, require
Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code once to enter Programming
Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode, scan a number of parameter settings before
scanning the ENTER/EXIT bar code a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit
Programming Mode and return the reader to normal operation.

There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence described
above. Please read the description and setting instructions carefully when
configuring each programmable feature.

RF Models

The power supply connects directly to the base (not on the cable's jack) for all configurations.
For all interfaces (except RS-232) a power supply is recommended but not necessary, because
the base can be powered from the Host. When the base is powered from the Host, select a slow
charge rate.

Configuring the Base Station

The base charger/station may be configured in desk application to hold the reader in two
different positions, either a horizontal or standing position, in order to provide the most
comfortable use depending on needs.

mounting, standing (45°), or horizontal mounting with a higher mechanical retention of the
scanner. Use the other mounts only for horizontal mounting, with lower retention of the
scanner. The different parts may be interchanged to customize retention preferences.

A tool such as a rigid pen or a flat screwdriver can be used to change the
mounts. Do not allow it to touch the contacts.

1. Insert the appropriate parts for the desired base station position, as shown below.

To ensure best contact and performance, do not intermix the parts of the two
different mount sets.

CAUTION

2. Using your thumbs, push open the plastic tabs on the bottom of the base to free the wing

The DC power cord for the adapter can be secured to the bottom of the base in order to
maximize the mechanical retention of the cable itself. The routing of the power cord can be
changed to accommodate the base station positioning: horizontal, stand or wall mounting. The
cables can be looped around to the front of the Base Station, or fed directly out the back of the

Linking the Reader to a Base Station

RF Devices

For RF devices, before configuring the interface it is necessary to link the handheld with the
base. To link the handheld and the base, press the trigger to wake it and place it on the base. If
the reader was previously linked to another base, you must first scan the Unlink action
command before re-linking to the new base.

BT Models only

Remember: The mandatory condition for establishing a new linking between a BT handheld
and a BT base is that the handheld is unlinked and they share the same security configuration. A
successful link is indicated by three ascending tones from the reader. A high-low-high-low tone
indicates the link attempt was unsuccessful. A single green LED flash after this tone indicates no
Base Station was discovered. Two green LED flashes after this tone indicates that more than one
Base Station was discovered and the reader did not link. Three LED flashes after this tone
indicate a security error.
