2 INTRODUCTION

2.1 GRYPHON™ D432/D432E DESCRIPTION

The Gryphon™ D432/D432E reader is an omni-directional barcode scanner having the following characteristics:
Plug and Play
Omni-directional Operating
Decoding
Formatting and Concatenating
Imaging
Autoscanning
Flash Memory
The Gryphon™ D432/D432E is very ergonomic and user­friendly for intuitive operation and is equipped with plug-and­play enhanced Multistandard Architecture. It can be connected to a Host PC through a USB, RS232 or Wedge emulation cable.
To read a symbol or capture an image, you simply aim the reader and pull the trigger. Since Gryphon™ D432/D432E is a powerful omni-directional reader, the orientation of the symbol is not important.
Thanks to powerful algorithms, Gryphon™ D432/D432E reliably decodes all major 1D (linear) barcodes, 2D stacked codes (such as PDF417), 2D matrix symbols (such as DataMatrix), postal codes (such as POSTNET, PLANET). The data stream — acquired from decoding a symbol — is rapidly sent to the host. The reader is immediately available to read another symbol.
The string of a decoded code may be processed according to either a simple or advanced data formatting and be concatenated to other codes (up to 4 different codes).
Gryphon™ D432/D432E can also function as a camera by capturing entire images or image portions of labels, signatures, and other items. Two different control modes are available for managing the camera exposure and calibration.
An autoscan command causes the reader to scan continuously and to monitor the central zone of its reading area.
Flash technology allows to upgrade the Gryphon™ D432/D432E reader as new symbologies are supported or as improved decoding algorithms become available.

2.3 CONFIGURATION METHODS

2.3.1 Reading Configuration Codes

This m\anual can be used for complete setup and configuration. If you wish to change the default settings, you can configure the Gryphon™ D432/D432E reader by reading the programming code symbols in this manual. Configuration commands and their relative arguments are read individually using the symbols in this manual. See Appendix D.

2.3.2 Using VisualSetup

The Datalogic VisualSetup program, available on the website, allows programming the reader by selecting configuration commands or printing them through a user­friendly graphical interface running on the PC. These commands are sent to the reader over the current communication interface; or they can be printed to be read.

2.3.3 Sending Configuration Strings from Host

An alternative configuration method is provided in Appendix A using the RS232 or USB COM interface. T be configured with the same settings. Batch files containing the desired parameter settings can be prepared to configure devices quickly and easily.

3.1 AIMING SYSTEM

The Gryphon™ D432/D432E reader uses an intelligent aiming system. By pulling the trigger, the aiming system indicates a field of view, which should be positioned over the code:
Figure 1 - Aiming System
When you pull the trigger a red beam illuminates the code. If the aiming system is centered and the entire symbology is within the aiming system, you will get a good read. The field of view changes size as you move the reader closer or farther away from the code.

Figure 2 - Relative Size and Location of Aiming System Pattern

GRYPHON™ D432/D432E
The field of view indicated by the aiming system will be smaller when the Gryphon™ D432/D432E is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. (See chapter 9 for further details).

3.2 NORMAL OPERATION

Gryphon™ D432/D432E normally functions by capturing and decoding codes.
Point the reader at the target and pull the trigger to enable the aiming system and the illuminator (red beam) to capture and decode the image. The aiming system will briefly switch off during 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.
As you are reading code symbols, adjust the distance at which you are holding the reader.
The Aiming System Delay parameter can be used to set a delay between the activation of the aiming system and the activation of the illuminator. This allows more time to center the reader over the target before image acquisition.
The Gryphon™ D432/D432E hand-held reader aiming system is designed for general reading and decoding of 1D and 2D symbols. Some variation in reading distance will occur due to narrow bar width
NOTE
and other factors.
If reading codes positioned on reflective surfaces, it may be necessary to tilt the reader with respect to the barcode and/or set the
NOTE
Camera Control parameters (see page 50).

3.3 IMAGE CAPTURING

Gryphon™ D432/D432E can also function as a camera by capturing images of labels, signatures, and other items.
In order to capture an image, the user should read a Capture Image code (see page 73), then point at the image subject and pull th will be captured and sent to the host PC. Gryphon™ D432/D432E then returns to

You can use the aiming system to position the reader from the object (ensure the reader is about centered over the target). Adjust the distance at which you are holding the reader (see Figure 2).
If the RS232
interface has been selected, the image will be transferred to the host
PC via XMODEM_1K protocol.
Image capturing is not available in Wedge and USB Keyboard Emulation interfaces and is not compatible with Autoscanning nor
NOTE
when the Software trigger type is selected.
Up to four different and independent Image Presets can be defined (see page 74).
r each Image Preset you may set up to three Basic Configuration Parameters, and
Fo up to five Advanced Configuration Parameters. Therefore an image is processed before being sent to the Host, according to a preset group of parameters.

3.3.1 Basic Configuration Parameters

The Image file formats supported are: BMP, TIFF, JPEG (default).
Two resolution options are available: VGA Resolution (640 x 480 pixels) (default), and CIF Resolution (320 x 240 pixels). The lower resolution setting yields smaller file sizes, so the transfer time decreases.
For JPEG images it is possible to define the Image Quality level to address tradeoff between image file size and quality.

GRYPHON™ D432/D432E

3.3.2 Advanced Configuration Parameters

An image portion (Window), instead of an entire image, can be captured. This parameter is generally used for particular fixed reading position applications.
0
Y
0
X0
height
width
480
Y
An Image Window may either be as large as the image itself or smaller (10 x 10 pixels minimum), and is defined by its origin (the coordinate X
), its width (number
0, Y0
of pixels along the X Axis) and its height (number of pixels along the Y Axis).
By default, for all Image Presets, the window has its origin coordinates equal to zero, its width equal to 640 pixels and its height to 480 pixels.
It is possible to perform Zooming of the image. The zoom range varies from 20% up to 200% in steps of 20%, so ten different settings are available. Default is 100% (no zoom).
In addition to Windowing and Zoom you can adjust Brightness and Contrast levels.
Brightness Adjustment is available in the range from –100% up to 100%, in steps of 1%. Positive values shift the luminance up so that the image will result brighter. Default value is 0%, meaning that no brightness adjustment is performed.
The same range of values (–100% up to 100%, in steps of 1%) is available for Contrast Adjustment. Positive values will increase the contrast, so that dark and
640

USING GRYPHON™ D432/D432E
bright objects inside the image will be better distinguishable. Default value is 0%, which means that no contrast adjustment is performed.
You can set the Image Color Depth by selecting 256 gray levels (default), 16 gray levels, or 2 gray levels. Higher color depths yield larger image files. This option is ignored if the JPEG format is selected, (256 gray levels only).

3.4 AUTOSCANNING

3.4.1 Normal Mode

Gryphon™ D432/D432E provides an autoscan command (see page 70), which when enabled, causes the reader to scan continuously and to monitor the central zone of its reading area. In this way, Gryphon™ D432/D432E is ready to capture any image (containing a potential code) positioned on a uniform background.
The aiming system can be enabled to indicate the reading area of the potential code to be captured. The illumination system can also be enabled when the ambient light conditions are not sufficient to autodetect the potential code to be captured; furthermore, the illumination system increases in intensity for an instant when capturing and decoding an image. A safety time may be defined to prevent Gryphon™ D432/D432E from reading the same code repeatedly.
If the decoding is completed successfully, the reader starts monitoring the reading area again. In case of decoding failure, Gryphon™ D432/D432E keeps on decoding until a potential code is present in the central zone of the reading area.

3.4.2 Pattern Mode

The Autoscan pattern mode is particularly advised when reading barcodes positioned on a non-uniform some elements of the background as barcodes and start the decoding. To avoid this undesired effect, the Autoscan Pattern Code is placed in the Gryphon™ D432/D432E reading area which prevents decoding. Using this code as the background, code reading takes place normally by presenting desired codes to be read over the Pattern Code. Between each code read, the Pattern Code must be represented to Gryphon™ D432/D432E. The Pattern Code can be printed from the file of the manual (Appendix D) available on the CD-ROM.

3.4.3 Stand Autorecognition

Pair the reader to the stand paying attention to insert the handle into the stand clip. Correct insertion will be signaled by a beep; then, the reader will be ready to read barcodes. Read the configuration codes at page 70 to automatically enter in Normal or Pattern Autoscann
ing mode.

3.5 CAMERA CONTROL

Exposure and Calibration
Two different control modes are available for managing the camera: automatic mode and fixed mode.
The automatic mode provides three different options to get the best tuning of the image to be captured:
- Automatic based on entire image
the whole image. This mode works well in most standard applications. It is the default setting.
- Automatic based on central image
of a restricted area positioned in the central zone of the image. This mode is suggested when reading small codes positioned in a dark and extensive background.
- Automatic for highly reflective surfaces
codes on highly reflective surfaces. This mode is suggested, for example, when reading codes positioned on plastic or metal surfaces.
The fixed mode is particularly suggested for expert users. It requires a camera calibration to adjust the acquisition parameters to the ambient light conditions. The defined values will always be used when working with a fixed exposure.
These values are permanently saved in the reader memory.
Refer to page 50 for configuration codes.
ming System Calibration

A
The factory-defined Gryphon™ D432/D432E aiming system is already correctly and precisely calibrated to the Gryphon™ D432/D432E focus distance and therefore works for the most typical applications. However, it is possible to modify the aiming system precision for the following condition:

when a fixed reading distance different from the Gryphon™ D432/D432E focus distance is used. The Gryphon™ focus distance is 115 mm for Gryphon™ D432, and 65 mm for Gryphon™ D432E.
Refer to the VisualSetup software program for performing the aiming system calibration.

When the following order:
1. the string of the decoded code is processed according to the advanced
formatting rules;
2. the resulting string is processed according to the selection type rules of the

3. character substitution is performed on the resulting string;
4. character deletion is performed on the resulting string;
5. code concatenation is performed;
6. code ID is attached to the resulting string;
7. global headers and terminators are attached to the resulting string;
The codes to be sent to the host may also be selected or ordered depending on the following two conditions:
one code per scan: Gryphon™ D432/D432E sends the code being closest to
the image center. If the "Central Code Transmission" command is enabled, only the code containing the image center will be transmitted (see page 69);

3.6.1 Concatenation

It is possible to concatenate up to 4 different codes, set their length and enable the intercode delay between them (the intercode delay is set in the specific interface parameters, see page 25, 27 and 32). When enabling the delay one or more global headers a procedure may occur in different ways depending on the number of codes to be decoded per image:
nd terminators are added to the decoded data. The concatenation
One Code Per Scan
If the code resulting from the single decoding of an image belongs to one of the
code families to be concatenated, it is saved to the Gryphon™ D432/D432E memory waiting for other codes to complete the concatenation.
If the code belongs to the same family of a code previously saved, it overwrites
the old one.
If the code resulting from the decoding does not belong to one of the code
families to be concatenated, it causes the concatenation failure and clears the temporary memory. If the "Concatenation Failure Transmission" command is set to "Tx codes causing failure" (see page 48), this code will be sent in the output message.

All codes resulting from the decoding of an image and belonging to one of the
families to be concatenated are saved to the Gryphon™ D432/D432E memory waiting for other codes to complete the concatenation.
If one or more codes resulting from the decoding belong to the same family of
codes previously saved, they overwrite the old ones.
When the image contains no code to be concatenated, the concatenation fails
and the reader temporary memory is cleared. If the "Concatenation Failure Transmission" command is set to "Tx codes causing failure" (see page 48), the codes causi
ng the concatenation failure will be sent in the output message.

4.3 USB INTERFACE SELECTION

The Gryphon™ D432/D432E reader requires the USB interface cable (CAB-412) and, if required, the AC/DC power adapter to be connected.
The USB interface is compatible:
Windows 98 (and later) IBM POS for Windows Mac OS 8.0 (and later) 4690 Operating System

START-UP

As with all USB devices, upon connection, the Host performs several checks by communicating with the Gryphon D432/D432E. During this phase the green LED on the Gryphon D432/D432E reader blinks and normal operations are suspended. Two basic conditions must be met before Gryphon D432/D432E is ready to read codes: the correct USB driver must be loaded to the reader.
For all systems, the correct USB driver for the default USB-KBD interface or the USB Generic loaded automatically or will be suggested by the O.S. and should therefore be selected from the dialog box (the first time only).
If the Host supplies sufficient power to the reader, the start-up phase ends correctly, the green LED stops blinking and the reader emits the beep OK signal.
If the Host does not supply sufficient power to the reader, a dialog box will appear on the Host and the reader will be blocked (green LED continues blinking). In this case, disconnect the USB cable at the Host power-up an external supply to USB cable then and close the dialog box. The reader emits the beep OK signal. You can now read codes. At this point you can read the USB interface configuration code according to your application. Load drivers from the O.S. (if requested).
When configuring the USB-COM interface or DLBulkUSB interface, the relevant files and drivers must be installed and can be downloaded from the web site http://www.scanning.datalogic.com
The reader is ready.

5 CONFIGURATION USING CODE SYMBOLS

This section describes the programming method of using configuration code symbols to program your reader. By using the Gryphon™ D432/D432E reader to read/decode these special configuration symbols, you can configure, and obtain information from its system software.
When you are reading configuration code symbols, carefully aim the Gryphon™ D432/D432E 2D reader to avoid reading adjacent symbols.
The configuration code symbols in this chapter are divided into logical sections according to the type of configuration required, (RS232 configuration, Code selection, etc.). If arguments are required with a command, you can read additional code labels (typically digits) from Appendix D.
