Gryphon™ I GBT4400

Description

With rich feature sets and extensive options, the Gryphon™
product series from Datalogic represents the premium level of
data collection equipment for general purpose applications.
The Gryphon GBT4400 readers have enhanced optics with
improved motion tolerance allowing codes placed on fast
moving objects to be easily and quickly captured, creating the
ideal reader for tasks requiring high throughput like those
found in retail and light industrial environments.

Omni­Directional
Operation

To read a symbol or capture an image, simply aim
the reader and pull the trigger. The Gryphon™ I
GBT4400 is a powerful omni-directional reader, so
the orientation of the symbol is not important.
Datalogic’s exclusive patented ‘Green Spot’ for
good-read feedback helps to improve productivity
in noisy environments or in situations where
silence is required. When using the product with
the cradle at a 45° position, the Green Spot can
work as an aiming system to aid in positioning the
bar code for quick and intuitive reading.

Decoding

Reliably decodes all standard 1D (linear) and 2D
bar codes, including GS1 DataBar™ linear codes,
Postal Codes (China Post), Stacked Codes (such as
GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked, GS1 DataBar
Stacked, GS1 DataBar, Stacked Omnidirectional).
The data stream — acquired from decoding a
symbol — is rapidly sent to the host. The reader is
immediately available to read another symbol.

Imaging

The Gryphon™ I GBT4400 can also function as a
camera by capturing entire images or image por­tions of labels, signatures, and other items.

Setting Up the Reader

2Gryphon™ GBT4400

Setting Up the Reader

Follow the steps below to connect and get your reader up and
communicating with its host.

1. Configure the Base Station starting on this page.

2. Charge the Batteries (see page 14).

3. Link to the Base Station (see page 20).

4. Select the Interface Type (see page 21).

5. Configure the Reader starting on page 33 (optional,
depends on settings needed).

NOTE

According to recent modification of Regulation
for shipping Li-Ion based battery packs, the
products and their spare battery packs parts
are shipped with a very low residual charge
(low state of charge).
Hence the needs
* that a new product must be fully recharged
before starting to use it.
and
* that battery packs of the stocked products
GBT/GM44 and spare battery pack parts must
be periodically recharged : for instance by
using a BC40xx cradle powered up with a 12V
Datalogic AC/DC adapter (cod.8-0935) for at
least 30 minutes each 3 months.

Positioning the Base Station

Quick Reference Guide 3

Positioning the Base Station

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

Base Station Positions and related clips to be used

Figure 1- Horizontal Position

This position is preferred, unless a different specific position­ing is required, for its outmost ease of insertion as well as the
minimum effort and attention required to customer when
docking the scanner.

Figure 2- Standing Position

This position is preferred if the scanner is to be used in stand
mode and not needed to be often removed from base station.

Positioning the Base Station

4Gryphon™ GBT4400

may accumulate on the product over time. The maintenance
activity may be repeated more frequently depending on the
severity of the environment in which the scanner is used.

A periodic deeper cleaning is suggested once per month.

Cleaning plastic surfaces

Exterior plastic surfaces and scan windows exposed to spills,
smudges or debris require periodic cleaning to ensure best
performance during scanning. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean
the product.

If the product is very soiled, clean the plastic surfaces with a
soft cloth moistened with a diluted non-aggressive cleaning
solution or isopropyl alcohol (minimum 70%).

Recommended cleaners for standard plastics are:
Formula 409® glass and surface cleaner, dish soap and water,

Windex® Original (Blue).

Connecting the Base Station

12 Gryphon™ GBT4400

Cleaning electrical contact surfaces

Regular cleaning of electrical contacts is needed to guarantee
a correct recharging of the battery. Both scanner and cradle
contacts should be cleaned.

In case spills, smudges or debris accumulate on the cradle
and/or the scanner, proper operation could be affected and a
periodical cleaning is recommended as follows.

Avoid the use of brushes or any other hard tool to remove
grime from electrical contacts, since these may damage or
scratch the contact’s plating.

Scanner Contacts

• Use a soft dry cloth to clean the contact area and the
plastic surface around the contacts.

• Be sure to remove dust, dirt and any cloth residue.

• If the level of grime is significant, it is suggested the
use of a soft white or pink pencil eraser to gently rub
the contacts. Motion can be along both the green and
yellow directions.

• Be sure to remove the rubber residuals by gently
blowing them off with clean compressed air.

CAUTION

Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleansing
agents or abrasive pads to clean scan windows,
contacts or plastics.
Do not spray or pour liquids directly onto the
unit. DO NOT use aerosols nor solvents.
Be sure to turn off power and unplug the device
from electrical outlet before cleaning.
Be sure to dry up the device before powering it

up.

Cleaning cradle contacts

• Use a soft dry cloth to clean the contact area and the
plastic surface around the contacts .

• Particular attention must be paid to remove dust, dirt
and any cloth residue. Do not allow this material to fall
again onto the contacts.

• It is suggested the use of a soft white or pink pencil
eraser to gently rub the contacts. Cradle contacts
should be cleaned with a motion along the yellow
direction.

• Be sure to remove the rubber residuals by gently
blowing them off with clean compressed air.

Scanner and cradle deep cleaning

In case some hard grime, grease or liquid residual are present
on electrical contacts, a deeper cleaning may be needed. If the
above procedure is not enough to guarantee proper working
of the system, the use of isopropyl alcohol is suggested (mini­mum 70%).

In this case it is suggested to use a cotton tipped applicator
with isopropyl alcohol, gently wiping along the pins of the
electrical connection. Be sure that cotton residue is not left on
any pin of the electrical contacts.

CAUTION

Be careful when using compressed air: protect
yourself with goggles and point the nozzle far
from eyes and not too close to the scanner sur­face. Read previously the warning label on the
spray can.

NOTE

Remove power before initiating the deep clean­ing routine.
After completion of the deep cleaning routine
allow the system to dry completely before recon­necting to power. Depending on the environmen­tal conditions wait at least 30 minutes or, if
possible, leave the system unpowered overnight.

Charging the Batteries

To charge the battery, simply insert the Gryphon into the
base. When the scanner is fully seated in the cradle, it will
sound a “chirp” to indicate that the cradle has detected the
scanner connection.

The LEDs on the base (shown in Table 1) will indicate the sta-
tus of the battery.

Battery Safety

To install, charge and/or perform any other action on the
battery, follow the instructions in this manual.

NOTE

Before using the Battery, read “Battery Safety” in
the following section. Datalogic recommends
annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs
to ensure maximum performance.

WARNING

Do not discharge the battery using any device
except for the scanner. When the battery is used
in devices other than the designated product, it
may damage the battery or reduce its life expec­tancy. If the device causes an abnormal current
to flow, it may cause the battery to become hot,
explode or ignite and cause serious injury.

Lithium-ion battery packs may get hot, explode
or ignite and cause serious injury if exposed to
abusive conditions. Be sure to follow the safety
warnings listed on the following page.

WARNING

• Do not place the battery pack in fire or heat.

• Do not connect the positive terminal and
negative terminal of the battery pack to each
other with any metal object (such as wire).

• Do not carry or store the battery pack
together with metal objects.

• Do not pierce the battery pack with nails,
strike it with a hammer, step on it or other­wise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.

• Do not expose the battery pack to liquids, or
allow the battery to get wet.

• Do not apply voltages to the battery pack
contacts.

Charging the Batteries

Quick Reference Guide 15

As with other battery types, 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

WARNING

In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid
gets into your eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well
with water and immediately seek medical care. If
left untreated, the battery fluid could cause dam­age to the eye.

CAUTION

Always charge the battery at 32° – 104°F (0° ­40°C) temperature range.

Use only the authorized power supplies, battery
pack, chargers, and docks supplied by your Data­logic reseller. The use of any other power sup­plies can damage the device and void your
warranty.

Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The
battery contains safety and protection devices,
which, if damaged, may cause the battery to gen­erate heat, explode or ignite.

CAUTION

Do not place the battery in or near fire, on stoves
or other high temperature locations.

Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, or use
or store the battery inside cars in hot weather.
Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat,
explode or ignite. Using the battery in this man­ner may also result in a loss of performance and
a shortened life expectancy.

CAUTION

Do not place the battery in microwave ovens,
high-pressure containers or on induction cook­ware.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery if,
while using, charging or storing the battery, the
battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot,
changes color or shape, or appears abnormal in
any other way.
Do not replace the battery pack when the device
is turned on.
Do not remove or damage the battery pack’s
label.
Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in
any part.
Battery pack usage by children should be super­vised.

Charging the Batteries

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.

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 to comply with European Directive 2006/66/EC,
2011/65/EU, 2002/96/EC and 2012/19/EU and subse­quent modifications, US and China regulatory and other
laws and regulations about the environment.

CAUTION

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

CAUTION

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.

As a reference, run a fast recharge for 20 minutes
every three months on unused products to avoid
any performance deterioration of the cell.

Using the Gryphon™ I GBT4400

Quick Reference Guide 19

Using the Gryphon™ I GBT4400

The Gryphon™ I GBT4400 normally functions by capturing and
decoding codes. The reader is equipped with an internal Moti­onix™ motion-sensing function which activates the aiming
system on device motion. The intelligent aiming system indi­cates the field of view which should be positioned over the bar
code:

Aiming System

Relative Size and Location of Aiming System Pattern

A red beam illuminates the label. The field of view indicated by
the aiming system will be smaller when the reader is closer to
the bar code and larger when it is farther from the code. Sym­bologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be
read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or ele­ments (mil size) should be read farther from the unit.

If the aiming system is centered and the entire bar code is
within the aiming field, you will get a good read. Successful
reading is signaled by an audible tone plus a good-read green
spot LED indicator.

Reference the Gryphon I GBT4400 Product Reference Guide
(PRG) or Datalogic Aladdin configuration software (both avail­able on the Datalogic website) for more information about
this feature and other programmable settings.

Programming

The reader is factory-configured with a set of standard
default features. After scanning the interface bar code from
the Interfaces section, select other options and customize
your reader through use of the programming bar codes avail­able in the Product Reference Guide (PRG). Check the corre­sponding features section for your interface, and also the
Data Editing and Symbologies chapters.

Using Programming Bar Codes

This manual contains bar codes which allow you to reconfig­ure your reader. Some programming bar code labels, like the
"Standard Product Default Settings" on page 33, require only
the scan of that single label to enact the change.

Other bar codes require the reader to be placed in Program­ming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar
code once to enter Programming Mode; scan the desired
parameter settings; scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code again to
accept your changes, which exits Programming Mode and
returns the reader to normal operation.

Configure Other Settings

Additional programming bar codes are available in the PRG to
allow for customizing programming features. If your installa­tion requires different programming than the standard fac­tory default settings, refer to the PRG.

Resetting Standard Product Defaults

Reference the PRG for a listing of standard factory settings. If
you aren’t sure what programming options are in your reader,
or you’ve changed some options and want the factory set­tings restored, scan the

The reader’s beeper sounds and its LED illuminates to indi­cate various functions or errors on the reader. An
optional“Green Spot” also performs useful functions. The fol­lowing tables list these indications. One exception to the
behaviors listed in the tables is that the reader’s functions are
programmable, and so may or may not be turned on. For

Datalogic Limited Factory Warranty

Warranty Coverage

Datalogic warrants to Customer that Datalogic's products will be free
from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one (1)
year from product shipment. Datalogic hardware products are war­ranted against defects in material and workmanship under normal
and proper use. The liability of Datalogic under this warranty is limited
to furnishing the labor and parts necessary to remedy any defect cov­ered by this warranty and restore the product to its normal operating
condition. Repair or replacement of product during the warranty does
not extend the original warranty term. Products are sold on the basis
of specifications applicable at the time of manufacture and Datalogic
has no obligation to modify or update products once sold.

If Datalogic determines that a product has defects in material or
workmanship, Datalogic shall, at its sole option repair or replace the
product without additional charge for parts and labor, or credit or re­fund the defective products duly returned to Datalogic. To perform re­pairs, Datalogic may use new or reconditioned parts, components,
subassemblies or products that have been tested as meeting appli­cable specifications for equivalent new material and products. Cus­tomer will allow Datalogic to scrap all parts removed from the
repaired product. The warranty period shall extend from the date of
shipment from Datalogic for the duration published by Datalogic for
the product at the time of purchase (Warranty period). Datalogic war­rants repaired hardware devices against defects in workmanship and
materials on the repaired assembly for a 90 day period starting from
the date of shipment of the repaired product from Datalogic or until
the expiration of the original warranty period, whichever is longer. Da­talogic does not guarantee, and it is not responsible for, the mainte­nance of, damage to, or loss of configurations, data, and applications
on the repaired units and at its sole discretion can return the units in
the “factory default” configuration or with any software or firmware
update available at the time of the repair (other than the firmware or
software installed during the manufacture of the product). Customer
accepts responsibility to maintain a back up copy of its software and
data.

Warranty Claims Process

In order to obtain service under the Factory Warranty, Customer must
notify Datalogic of the claimed defect before the expiration of the ap­plicable Warranty period and obtain from Datalogic a return authori­zation number (RMA) for return of the product to a designated
Datalogic service center. If Datalogic determines Customer’s claim is
valid, Datalogic will repair or replace product without additional
charge for parts and labor. Customer shall be responsible for packag­ing and shipping the product to the designated Datalogic service cen­ter, with shipping charges prepaid. Datalogic shall pay for the return
of the product to Customer if the shipment is to a location within the
country in which the Datalogic service center is located. Customer
shall be responsible for paying all shipping charges, duties, taxes, and
any other charges for products returned to any other locations. Fail­ure to follow the applicable RMA policy, may result in a processing fee.
Customer shall be responsible for return shipment expenses for
products which Datalogic, at its sole discretion, determines are not
defective or eligible for warranty repair.
