    Gryphon™ GFE4400 Integration Guide This document gives instruction, mechanical details, and design consid- erations to integrate the Gryphon™ GFE4400 model (designated as “scan engine” or “OEM scan engine” in this manual) specifically into equipment-integrated scanning applications. Overview The GFE4400 OEM scan engine is a compact, decoded, omni-direc- tional imaging scan engine for fixed position OEM integration, such as price verifiers, kiosks, vending machines, point-of-sale (POS) terminals, and other equipment-integrated scanning applications.

    Details on the Configuration Settings and Programming are found in the GFS4400 Product Reference Guide (PRG). The Datalogic Aladdin Con- figuration Utility (available free from the Datalogic website) can also be used to modify settings. Unpacking the Scan Engine The scan engine is shipped in custom packaging.

  • Page 8: Mounting The Scanner

    Mounting the Scanner This section describes how to design the mounting for optimum scanner performance. General Considerations A typical system uses the scanner mounted inside a host enclosure, with an opening for the scanning pattern to exit and read bar codes. The open- ing should be the size of the scanner field of view at a minimum, but only exposing as much of the scanner as necessary.

  • Page 9: Mounting The Scanner Standalone

    Mounting the Scanner Mounting the Scanner Standalone The OEM scanner is not intended for use in a standalone application. This model is intended to be integrated inside a host enclosure. GFS4400 models should be used when a standalone application is re- quired.

  • Page 18: Integrating The Scanner To Read At The Proper Distance

    Mounting the Scanner Integrating the Scanner to Read at the Proper Distance When deciding how to mount the OEM scanner, there are many criteria that must be considered. First, there are minimum and maximum distanc- es that the bar code can be from the front of the scanner to be properly read, depending on the size of the bar code.

  • Page 19: Design Of The Scanner Opening

    Mounting the Scanner Design of the Scanner Opening The design and placement of the scanner opening within a host enclosure are critical for optimum system performance. A typical system uses the scanner mounted inside a host enclosure, with an opening to allow the scanner Field of View to exit the scanner window and read bar codes.

  • Page 20: Integrating The Scanner Behind A Window

    Mounting the Scanner Integrating the Scanner Behind a Window The addition of a host enclosure window could degrade scanner performance. This is due to the optical reflective surfaces that will cause interfer- ence with the imaging technology. CAUTION It is recommended to conduct scan performance testing with any window to determine if the performance level is acceptable for the application.

  • Page 21: Esd Protection

    Mounting the Scanner ESD Protection The host enclosure design must provide adequate ESD protection for the scanner. Ideally, static discharge should not be allowed to discharge to the scanner. The preferred method to prevent static discharge is to pro- vide a long discharge path to all circuits. The scanner is intended to be mounted inside a host enclosure.

    Technical Specifications Indicators The reader’s LED L2 of J2 illuminates to indicate various functions or er- rors. An optional “Green Spot” also performs useful functions. The fol- lowing tables list these indications. One exception to the behaviors listed in the tables is that the reader’s functions are programmable, and so may or may not be turned on.

  • Page 28: Error Codes

    Technical Specifications Error Codes Upon startup, if the reader’s LED2 and Green Spot are blinking alternate- ly, this means the reader has not passed its automatic Selftest and has en- tered FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) isolation mode. If the reader is reset, the sequence will be repeated.
