Gryphon™ I GFS4400

About the Reader Introduction

About the Reader

The Gryphon GFS4400 is a fully self-contained standard range 2D bar code scanning module
for use in OEM applications such as 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
targeting and good read feedback.

The scanning technology is essentially the same as th
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 solvent- and disinfectant-tolerant resin for health care applications.

Advancements in the LED technology used in the imager-based readers significantly improve
the illumination

The GFS4400 is available in two different data interface versions:

• Gryphon I GFS4470 Gryphon Fixed Scanner 2D Imager USB

• Gryphon I GFS4450-9 Gryphon Fixed Scanner 2D Imager RS-232 9-pin connector

of the target field of view, resulting in higher scan efficiency.

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 code labels available in the corresponding features section for
your interface. Customizable settings for many features are found in "Configuration Parameters"

starting on page 21.

e Gryphon I 4400 handheld scanner family

Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults" on page 19, require only the scan of the
single label to enact the change. Most, however, require
Mode prior to scanning 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.

There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence described
above. Please read the description and setting instructions carefully when
configuring each programmable feature.

Introduction Programming the Reader

Datalogic Aladdin™

Programming can alternatively be performed using the Datalogic Aladdin™ Configuration
application. Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user-friendly
configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. It communicates to the device
through a user-friendly graphical interface running on a PC. Selected configuration commands
are sent to the reader over the selected communication interface using a serial or USB cable, or
they can be printed as bar codes to be scanned.

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.

Restore Custom Defaults

If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your imager, or you’ve changed some
options and want to restore the Custom Default Configuration that may have been saved in the
scanner, scan the Restore Custom Default Configuration bar code below. This will restore the
custom configuration for the currently active interface.

Custom defaults are based on the interface type. Configure the imager
for the correct interface before scanning this label.

Restore Factory Configuration

If you want to restore the Factory Configuration for your imager, scan either the Restore USA
Factory Configuration bar code or the Restore EU Factory Configuration bar code below. Both
labels restore the scanner configuration to the factory settings, including the interface type. The
USA label restores Label IDs to those historically used in the USA. The EU label restores Label
IDs to those historically used in Europe. The Label ID sets for USA and EU are shown in the

Label ID

A Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (convert to Hex using the
ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual), used to identify a bar code symbology
type. It can be appended previous to or following the transmitted bar code data depending upon
how this option is enabled. This feature provides options for configuring custom Label IDs or
individually per symbology (see "Individually Set Label ID" on page 57). If you wish to
program the reader to always include an industry standard label identifier for ALL symbology
types,

see the previous feature "Global AIM ID" on page 53.

See Label ID, starting on page 257 of “References” for more information on setting this feature.

Label ID: Pre-Loaded Sets

The reader supports two pre-loaded sets of Label IDs. See Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets, starting on

page 257 for details on the USA set and EU set.

Unlike some programming features and options,
scan only one programming bar code label. DO NOT scan an ENTER/EXIT bar
code prior to scanning the bar codes below.

When changing from one Label ID set to another, all other reader configuration
settings, including the host interface type, will be erased and set to the stan­dard factory defaults. Any custom configuration or custom defaults will be lost.

Double Read Timeout

Double Read Timeout specifies the minimum time between consecutive good reads of labels of
the same symbology and data. This prevents a double read of the same label. If the unit reads a
label and sees the same label again within the specified timeout, the second read is ignored.
Double Read Timeout does not apply to scan modes that require a trigger pull for each label
read. The timeout can be set within a range of 20 milliseconds to 2,550 milliseconds (2.55
seconds) in 10ms increments.

Double Read Timeout = 0.1 Second

Double Read Timeout = 1 Second

To specify your own setting, scan the bar code below followed by the appropriate characters
