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:
•Gryphon I GD44XX - Corded 2D imager bar code reader
•Gryphon I GBT4400 - Model with Bluetooth options.
Programming can alternatively 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 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 han
dling during extended periods of use.
See "Interface Selection" on page 30 for a listing and descriptions of available interface sets by model type.

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

BC40XX UV Counterfeit Detection
UV LEDs
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, credi
applications where it is possible to detect fluorescent marks with UV light.
The detector contains eight special UV LEDs, as shown below:

t card, travelers’ check and similar
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 lig
hts, without showing fluorescent marks.
To use:
1. Quickly press the Base button to light the UV LEDs.
2. Hold the item to be verified under
special fluorescent marks are visible.
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.

Introduction
Battery Safety
To reinstall, charge and/or perform any other action on the battery, follow
the instructions in this manual.
WARNING
WARNING
Before installing the Battery, read “Battery Sa
fety” on this and the following pages. Datalogic recommends annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure maximum performance.
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 below:
•Do not place the battery pack in fire or heat.
•Do not connect the positive terminal and negative
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 h
ject it to strong impacts or shocks.
•Do not solder directly onto the battery pack.
•Do not expose the battery pack to liquids, or
•Do not apply voltages to the battery pack contacts.
In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid

Battery Safety
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
rtial discharging / recharging is adhered to rather than full / deep dis-
pa
charging.
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.
As a reference, run a fast recharge for 20 min
ucts to avoid any performance det
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

Introduction
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
de labels available in the corresponding features section for your inter-
co
face. Customizable settings for many features are found in "Configuration
Parameters" st
Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults" on
require only the scan of the single label to enact the change. Most, however,
require the reader to be placed
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.

carefully when configuring each programmable feature.
Datalogic Aladdin™
Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and
user-friendly configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface.
Aladdin is available on the CD-ROM provided with your product, and also
from the Datalogic website. Aladdin allows you to program the reader by
selecting configuration commands through a user-friendly graphical interface running on a PC. These commands are sent to the reader over the
lected communication interface, or they can be printed as bar codes to be
se
scanned.
Aladdin also provides the ability to pe

Unpacking
Check carefully to ensure the reader and any accessories ordered are present and undamaged. If any damage occurred during shipment, contact Datalogic Technical Support. Information is shown on page 2.
KEEP THE PACKAGING. Should the unit ever require service, it should be
returned in its original shipping container.
Setting Up the Reader
Depending on whether you are using a Corded or BT version of the Gryphon,
ollow the steps provided in this section to connect and get your reader up
f
and communicating with its host.
1. Begin by Installing the Interface Cable (Corded) or Connecting the Base
Station (BT)

The base station is configured by installing one of two sets of mechanical
parts that come with the cordless kit. The default mounts (shown below)
provide three options: vertical (wall) 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.
