Using the Gryphon D432/412Plus
Aiming System
The Gryphon D432/D412Plus reader uses an intelligent aiming system similar to those on
cameras. By partially pulling the trigger, the aiming system indicates a field of view to be
positioned over the code:
Figure 3. Aiming System
When you pull the trigger completely 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.

The field of view indicated by the aiming system will be smaller when the Gryphon D432/
D412Plus 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
