GRYPHON™ D432/D432E

GRYPHON™ D432/D432E DESCRIPTION

The Gryphon™ D432/D432E reader is an omni-directional barcode scanner

having the following characteristics:

Plug and Play The Gryphon™ D432/D432E is very ergonomic and user-

friendly for intuitive operation and is equipped with plug-

and-play enhanced Multistandard Architecture. It can be

connected to a Host PC through a USB, RS232 or Wedge

emulation cable.

Omni-directional

Operating

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.

Decoding 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.

Formatting and

Concatenating

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).

Imaging 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.

Autoscanning An autoscan command causes the reader to scan

continuously and to monitor the central zone of its reading

area.

Flash Memory Flash technology allows to upgrade the Gryphon™

D432/D432E reader as new symbologies are supported or

as improved decoding algorithms become available.

Using this Quick Reference Manual, you can start using your Gryphon™

D432/D432E reader. For details about general configuration commands,

refer to the Gryphon™ D432/D432E Reference Manual available on the

website.

USING GRYPHON™ D432/D432E

Gryphon™ D432/D432E normally functions by capturing and decoding codes.

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:

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.

Linear barcode 2D Matrix symbol

Relative Size and Location of Aiming System Pattern

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.

Successful reading is signaled by an audible tone plus a good-read green led.

GRYPHON™ D432/D432E

NOTE

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 and other factors.

NOTE

If reading codes positioned on reflective surfaces, it may be

necessary to tilt the reader with respect to the barcode and/or

set the Camera Control parameters. For configuring the Camera

Control parameters refer to the Gryphon™ D432/D432E

Reference Manual available on the website.

INDICATORS

LED INDICATORS

The Gryphon™ D432/D432E has one green LED indicator signaling the

following reader functions:

STATUS BEHAVIOR

Power ON The LED lights up for 2 seconds to signal

the power supply is present.

Power ON with USB (without

external power supply)

The LED blinks until the Host accepts the

device.

Normal Function The LED lights up after a good decoding

and will switch off only at the next trigger

press.

BEEPER

The Gryphon™ D432/D432E basic software provides beeper signals for

good/wrong reading and for indicating errors. Its tone, volume and duration can

be directly configured by using the codes given in the Gryphon™ D432/D432E

Reference Manual available on the website.

The application program can also manage the beeper (User Defined Beeper)

when the reader is controlled by a Host PC. It is possible to activate the beeper

by sending a command from the Host to the reader via the current

communication interface.

GOOD READ SPOT

It is possible to enable a green good-read spot, which will be projected in the

field of view when the reading is successful.

SETUP

1. Make connections between Gryphon™ D432/D432E and the Host PC

using the correct interface calbe.

2. Read the correct Interface Selection code.

Your reader is now ready to read codes using the default settings.
