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.

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."

RS-232 Serial Connection

Turn off power to the terminal/PC and connect the reader to the terminal/PC serial port via the RS-232 cable, as shown in Figure 1. If the terminal will not support POT (Power Off the Terminal) to supply reader power, use the approved power supply Adapter barrel connector into the socket on the RS-232 cable connector and the AC Adapter plug into a standard power outlet.

Interface Selection

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-STD

• 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. Next, proceed to the corresponding section in this manual (also listed in Table 1 starting on page 14) to configure any desired settings and features associated with that interface.

Unlike some programming features and options, interface selections require that you scan only one programming barcode label. DO NOT scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode prior to scanning an interface selection barcode.

Some interfaces require the scanner to star powered up. If additional scanner configuration is desired while in this state, pull the trigger and hold it for five seconds. The scanner will change to a state that allows programming with barcodes.
