whether in printed, "online", or other form.
1.3 "Proprietary Information" means: (a) source code, object code, software, documentation, and any
related internal design, system design, data base design, algorithms, technology, technical data
or information, implementation techniques, and trade secrets related to the Software, (b) any
other trade secrets marked appropriately or identified as proprietary or confidential, and (c) any
information that End User, under the circumstances, should recognize as confidential. Proprietary Information does not include any information that the receiving party can establish was (1)

receipt, (3) rightfully learned from a third party not in violation of any other's proprietary rights,

does not convey ownership of the Software to End User. Title to the Software shall be and remain
with Datalogic or the third party from whom Datalogic has obtained a licensed right. As used in
this Agreement, the term "purchase" or its equivalents when applied to the Software shall mean
"acquire under license." End User is not entitled to receipt or use of the source code to any Software.

granted licenses, but instead may elect to notify End User that End User is deemed to have
ordered and accepted a license for each breaching use. End User shall pay Datalogic the applicable list price for such licenses as of the date of such breach.
3.2 End User shall not sell, assign, sublicense, distribute, lend, rent, give, or otherwise transfer the Datalogic Product to any third party unless such third party agrees with Datalogic in writing to be
bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any such transfer of the Datalogic Product
absent such agreement shall be null and void.

agents who are under confidentiality agreement, and End User shall not use the Proprietary Information other than in conjunction with use of the Datalogic Product exclusively for End User's
internal business purposes. End User shall take steps to protect the Proprietary Information no less
securely than if it were End User's own intellectual property.

after the termination of this Agreement.

Gryphon GFS4400
Fixed Mount Area Imager
Bar Code Reader
The Gryphon GFS4400 is a fully self-contained standard range 2D bar
code scanning module for use in self service kiosks or other semi automated equipment requiring the ability to read a bar code. It is intended
to be an easy integration by system designers with little expertise in scanning technology. Unlike currently available products, the GFS4400 uses
the latest and fastest imaging technology and offers Datalogic’s Green
Spot for good read feedback.
The scanning technology is essentially the same as the Gryphon I 4400
family of area imagers, with some enhancements for presentation reading
and improved motion tolerance. The enclosure is designed for ease of integration, is sealed to IP54 for cleaning, and is constructed of a solventand disinfectant-tolerant resin for health care applications.
The GFS4400 is an area imaging scanner for OEM applications. It is
available in two different data interface versions:
• GFS4470 Gryphon Fixed Scanner 2D Imager USB
• GFS4450-9 Gryphon Fixed Scanner 2D Imager RS-232 9-pin

Programming
10 Gryphon™ GFS4400
Programming
The reader is factory-configured with a set of standard default features. After scanning the interface bar code from the Interfaces section, you can select other options and customize your reader through use of the
programming bar codes available in the Gryphon I GFS4400 Product
Reference Guide (PRG).
Programming can also be performed using the Datalogic Aladdin™ Configuration 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 with the
device using a serial or USB cable and can also create configuration barcodes to print.
Using Programming Bar Codes
This manual contains bar codes which allow you to reconfigure your reader. Some programming bar code labels, like
"Reset Default Settings" on
page 11
, 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.

Reading Parameters
Quick Reference Guide 11
Resetting Product Defaults
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your reader, or
you’ve changed some options and want your custom factory settings restored, scan the bar code below to reset the reader to its initial configuration.
The product can also be restored to its original factory default settings.
Reference the PRG for this option, and a listing of standard factory settings.
Reading Parameters
Move the reader toward the target and center the aiming pattern and illumination system to capture and decode the image. The aiming system
will briefly switch off after the acquisition time, and if no code is decoded
will switch on again before the next acquisition. The illuminator will remain on until the symbol is decoded.
Aiming System
A number of options for customizing control of the Aiming System are
available. See the Gryphon I GFS4400 PRG for more information and
programming bar codes.
Defaults are based on the interface type. Be sure
your reader is configured for the correct interface
before scanning this label.
