CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE READER Designed for easy integration and simple installation, the GFS4500 scan modules pro- vide ready-to-use versatile solutions for kiosks and machine manufacturers. The GFS4500 module can be easily integrated with little effort in different enclosures from multiple sides with its small regular size and various fixing points.
To read a symbol or capture an image, simply aim the reader and pull the trigger. The Gryphon™ GFS4500 is a powerful omni-directional reader, so the orientation of the symbol is not important. Datalogic's unique 'Green Spot' for good-read feedback helps to improve productivity in noisy environments or in situations where silence is required.

GRYPHON™ GFS4500 AIMING SYSTEM Figure 3. Relative Size and Location of Gryphon™ GFS4500’s Aiming System Pattern on Linear bar code A beam illuminates the label. The projected pattern of the aiming system will be smaller when the reader is closer to the bar 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.
Aladdin also facilitates image capturing. In addition, Aladdin makes it easy to upgrade the handheld’s firmware, to attain the benefits of new reader features. Reference the Datalogic Aladdin™ Online Help for more details. Aladdin is available for download free of charge on the Datalogic website...

REFERENCES RS-232 PARAMETERS RS-232 ONLY Baud Rate Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the reader's baud rate to match the baud rate setting of the host device. With an improper baud rate set- ting, data may not reach the host correctly.
RS-232/USB COM PARAMETERS RS-232/USB COM PARAMETERS Intercharacter Delay This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one character and the beginning of the next. The delay can be set within a range of zero (0) to 990 millisec- onds in 10ms increments.
REFERENCES ACK NAK Options This enables/disables the ability of the reader to support the RS-232 ACK/NAK protocol. When configured, the reader and/or host sends an “ACK” when it receives data prop- erly, and sends “NAK” when the data is in error. Options are: •...
RS-232/USB COM PARAMETERS NAK Character This setting specifies an ASCII character or hex value to be used as the NAK character. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected. NOTE: Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts with normal operation of these characters.
REFERENCES ACK NAK Timeout Value This option specifies the amount of time the reader waits for an ACK character from the host following label transmission. The selectable timeout range is 200 milliseconds to 15,000ms (15 seconds) in 200ms increments. A selection of 0 disables the timeout. To set this value: 1.
RS-232/USB COM PARAMETERS ACK NAK Retry Count This feature specifies the number of times the reader retries a label transmission due to a retry condition. The selectable range is from 1 to 254 retries. A selection of 0 disables the count, and a selection of 255 specifies unlimited retries. To set this feature: 1.
REFERENCES Disable Character Specifies the value of the RS-232 host command used to disable the reader. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected. NOTE: Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts with normal operation of these characters.
RS-232/USB COM PARAMETERS Enable Character Specifies the value of the RS-232 host command used to enable the reader. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected. NOTE: Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts with normal operation of these characters.
REFERENCES KEYBOARD INTERFACE Intercharacter Delay This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one character and the beginning of the next. The delay can be set within a range of zero (0) to 990 millisec- onds in 10ms increments. A setting of zero specifies no delay. To set the delay: 1.
KEYBOARD INTERFACE Intercode Delay Specifies the delay between labels transmitted to the host for this interface. The select- able range for this feature is from 0 to 99 seconds. Follow these instructions to set this feature: 1. Determine the desired setting. 2.
ID code will be transmitted before the scanned bar code data. 00 - 20 Characters (ASCII) NOTE: Additional advanced editing is available.

AIM label identifiers (as opposed to custom characters you select yourself as with label identifiers) can be included with scanned bar code data. AIM label identifiers consist of three characters as follows: •...
DATA FORMAT Label ID: Set Individually Per Symbology To configure a Label ID individually for a single symbology: 1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code. 2.

DATA FORMAT Character Conversion Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4 character pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in the pair is the char- acter that will be converted. The second character in the pair is the character to convert to.
REFERENCES SCANNING FEATURES Scan Mode Selects the scan operating mode for the reader. Selections are: On Line: In On Line mode, the reading phase is defined as the time between the Phase ON and Phase OFF events. The Phase events can be generated by an external input (trigger) or by the Trigger button.
Page 251
SCANNING FEATURES Timeout (Scanning Active Time option): Specifies the maximum duration for the reading phase. Selections: from 1 to 255 seconds in 1 second increments. Always On: In Always On, the scanner is continuously scanning. When a label enters the reading zone and is decoded, no more decodes and reading phases are allowed until the label has left the reading area.
REFERENCES Scanning Active Time This setting specifies the amount of time that the reader stays in scan ON state once the state is entered. The range for this setting is from 1 to 255 seconds in 1-second incre- ments. Follow these instructions to set this feature: 1.
SCANNING FEATURES Aiming Duration Time Specifies the frame of time the aiming pointer remains on after decoding a label, when in trigger single mode. The range for this setting is from 1 to 255 seconds in 1-second increments. Follow these instructions to set this feature: 1.
REFERENCES LED AND BEEPER INDICATORS Good Read LED Duration This feature specifies the amount of time that the Good Read LED remains on following a good read. The good read LED on time can be set within a range of 10 milliseconds to 2,550 milliseconds (0.001 to 2.55 seconds) in 100ms increments.
SYMBOLOGIES SYMBOLOGIES Set Length Length Control allows you to select either variable length decoding or fixed length decoding for the specified symbology. Variable Length: For variable length decoding, a minimum and maximum length may be set. Fixed Length: For fixed length decoding, two different lengths may be set. Set Length 1 This feature specifies one of the bar code lengths for a given symbology.
REFERENCES Set Length 2 This feature specifies one of the bar code lengths for a given symbology. Length 2 is the maximum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the second fixed length if in Fixed Length Mode. Reference the to view the selectable range (number 1D Symbologies, starting on page 96 of characters) for the symbology being set.
