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 barcodes within this guide.

Two models are available, and are covered in this manual:

• Gryphon I GFS4170 - USB Fixed Mount Linear Imager Bar Code Reader

• Gryphon I GFS4150-9 - RS-232 Fixed Mount Linear Imager Bar Code Reader

Programming can also be performed using the Datalogic Aladdin™ Configuration application

Programming the Reader

Advances 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.

See "Interface Selection" on page 13 for a listing and descriptions of available interface sets model type.

Programming the Reader

Configuration Methods

Programming Barcodes

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

Barcodes" starting on page 17.

Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults" on page 16, require only the scan of the single label to enact the change. Most, however, require Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode once to enter Programming Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode, scan a number of parameter settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT barcode 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.

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 for download 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 selected communication interface, or they can be printed as barcodes to be scanned.

Aladdin also provides the ability to perform a soft Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for more details).

Software Configuration Strings

The reader can also be configured by using command strings. These strings can be sent via the RS232/USB-COM interface using a terminal emulator such as HyperTerminal.

Refer to Chapter 4 in this manual, "Software Configuration Strings," for configuration procedures using Serial Strings sent by the Host."

Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, proceed to Table 1

starting on page 14 to select the interface type the reader is connected to (for example, RS-232

or USB). Scan the appropriate barcode in that section to conf interface type.

Each reader model will support one of the following sets of host interfaces:

• RS-232 Wincor-Nixdorf

Setting the Interface

Scan the programming barcode from this section which selects the appropriate interface type matching the system the reader will be connected to.

Global AIM ID

This feature enables/disables addition of AIM IDs for all symbology types.

AIM label identifiers (as opposed to custom characters you select yourself as with label identifiers) can be included with scanned barcode data. AIM label identifiers consist of three characters as follows:

• A close brace character (ASCII ‘]’), followed by...

• A code character (see the table below), followed by...

• A modifier character (the modifier character is symbol dependent).

Label ID

A Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (each can be one of hex 0x010xFF), used to identify a barcode (symbology) type. It can be appended previous to or following the transmitted barcode data depending upon how this option is enabled. This feature provides options for configuring custom Label IDs as a pre-loaded set (see "Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets" below) or individually per symbology (see "Label ID: Set Individually Per Symbology"on page 45). If you wish to program the reader to always identifier for ALL symbology types, see the previous feature "Global AIM ID"on page 43.
