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 the Gryphon I 4400 handheld scanner family
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 of the target field of view, resulting in higher scan efficiency.
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
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
.
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 the reader to be placed in Programming
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.
