Specific cables are required for connection to different hosts. The
connectors illustrated above are examples only. Actual connectors
may vary from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the reader
remain the same.
Programming
The reader is factory-configured with a set of default features standard. After scanning the
interface barcode from the Interfaces section, you can select other options and customize your
reader through use of the instructions and programming barcodes available in the
corresponding features section for your interface, and also the Data Editing and Symbologies
chapters of this manual.
Using the Programming Barcodes
This manual contains feature descriptions and barcodes which allow you to reconfigure your
reader. Some programming barcode labels, like the "Standard Product Default Settings"on
page 15, require only the scan of that single label to enact the change. Most of the programming
labels in this manual, however, require the reader to be placed in Programming Mode prior to
scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode once to enter Programming Mode. Once the
reader is in Programming Mode, you can scan a number of parameter settings before scanning
the ENTER/EXIT barcode 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.
NOTE

Gryphon™ I GD4100
Resetting the Standard Product Defaults
Select the Interface Type
Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, proceed directly to
"Interfaces"on page 17 for information and programming for the interface type the reader is
connected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.) and scan the appropriate
barcode in that section to select your system’s correct interface type.
Configure Interface Settings
If after scanning the interface barcode from the Interfaces section, your installation requires you
to select options to further customize your reader, turn to the appropriate section for your
interface type as listed below:
• RS-232 ONLY Interface, starting on page 51
• Keyboard Interface, starting on page 79
• USB-OEM Interface, starting on page 93
• IBM 46XX Interface, starting on page 95
• Wand Emulation Interface, starting on page 101
Configure Other Features
If your installation requires different programming than the standard factory default settings,
the following sections of this manual allow configuration of non-interface-specific settings you
might require:
General Features. General Features includes programming for scanning, beeper and LED
indicators and other such universal settings.
Symbologies. Includes options concerning the barcode label types (symbologies). These settings
allow you to enable/disable symbologies, set label lengths, require check digit, etc.
Resetting the Standard Product Defaults
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your reader, or you’ve changed some
options and want the factory settings restored, scan the Standard Product Default Settings barcode
below. This will copy the factory configuration for the currently active interface to the current
configuration.
Factory defaults are based on the interface type. Configure the
reader for the correct interface before scanning this label.

Scanning Features
Scan Mode
Selects the scan operating mode for the reader. Selections are:
Trigger Single. When the trigger is pulled, scanning is activated until one of the following
occurs:
- Scanning Active Time has elapsed
- a label has been read
- the trigger is released
This mode is associated with typical handheld reader operation: when the trigger is pulled,
scanning starts and the product scans until the trigger is released, or a label is read, or the
maximum Scanning Active Time has elapsed.
Trigger Hold Multiple . When the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and the product scans until
the trigger is released or Scanning Active Time has elapsed. Reading a label does not disable
scanning. Double Read Timeout prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this
mode.
Trigger Pulse Multiple. When the trigger is pulled, continuous scanning is activated until
Scanning Active Time has elapsed or the trigger has been released and pulled again. Double Read
Timeout1 prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.
Flashing. The reader flashes1 on and off regardless of the trigger status. Flash rate is controlled
by Flash On Time and Flash Off Time. When Flash is ON the imager reads continuously; when
Flash is OFF scanning is deactivated.
Always On. No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scanning is continually on. If the
trigger is pulled, the reader acts as if it is in Trigger Single Mode. Double Read Timeout1 prevents
undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.
Stand Mode. No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scanning is turned on automatically
when an item is placed in the reader’s field of view. If the trigger is pulled, the reader acts as if it
in single read mode. Double Read Timeout1 prevents undesired multiple reads while in this
mode.
Trigger Object Sense. This mode is similar to Stand Mode, except that a trigger pull is required
to activate the decoder.

Data Editing Overview
It is not recommended to use these features with IBM interfaces.
CAUTION
When a barcode is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host computer along with
the barcode data. This combination of barcode data and supplementary user-defined data is
called a “message string.” The features in this chapter can be used to build specific user-defined
data into a message string.
There are several types of selectable data characters that can be sent before and after scanned
data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific
symbologies. Figure 6 shows the available elements you can add to a message string:

Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing is sophisticated
feature allowing highly customizable output for advanced users. Factory default settings
for data editing is typically set to NONE.
A prefix or suffix may be applied (reference the Symbologies chapter for these settings)
across all symbologies (set via the Global features in this chapter).
You can add any character from the ASCII Chart (from 00-FF) on the inside back cover of
this manual as a prefix, suffix or Label ID.
Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the output.
Global Prefix/Suffix
Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before the barcode data) and/
or as a suffix (in a position following the barcode data) as indicated in Figure 7.

Label ID
A Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (each can be one of hex 0x010xFF), used to identify a barcode (symbology) type. It can be appended previous to or following
the transmitted barcode data depending upon how this option is enabled. This feature provides
options for configuring custom Label IDs as a pre-loaded set (see "Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets"on
page 113) or individually per symbology (see "Label ID: Set Individually Per Symbology"on
page 115). If you wish to program the reader to always include an industry standard label
identifier for ALL symbology types, see the previous feature "Global AIM ID"on page 110.
Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets
The reader supports two pre-loaded sets of Label IDs. Table 17 shows the default set and
alternate set.
CAUTION
When changing from one Label ID set to another, all other reader
configuration settings, including the host interface type, will be
erased and set to the standard factory defaults. Any customized

Label ID
Label ID: Set Individually Per Symbology
To configure a Label ID individually for a single symbology:
1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode.
2. Select Label ID position as either BEFORE (Enable as Prefix) or AFTER (Enable as suffix) by scanning the appropriate barcode in the section "Label ID Control"on page 117.
Reference Figure 9 for Label ID positioning options if multiple identification features are
enabled.
3. Scan a barcode to select the symbology for which you wish to configure a custom Label
ID from the section Label ID Symbology Selection, starting on page 118.
4. Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose up to three) which will represent the
Label ID for the selected symbology.
5. Turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual and find the equivalent hex
digits associated with your choice of Label ID. For example, if you wish to select an equal
sign (=) as a Label ID, the chart indicates its associated hex characters as 3D. Turn to
Keypad, starting on page 301 and scan the barcodes representing the hex characters determined. For the example given, the characters ‘3’ and ‘D’ would be scanned. More examples of Label ID settings are provided in Table 18.
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL
barcode to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start
again at the beginning.
NOTE
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode to exit Label ID entry.
7. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode once again to exit Programming Mode.
This completes the steps to configure a Label ID for a given symbology.

Character Conversion
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 character that will
be converted. The second character in the pair is the character to convert to. If the character to
convert in a pair is FF, then no conversion is done.
For example, if you have the character conversion configuration item set to the following:
41423132FFFFFFFF
The first pair is 4142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an ASCII capital B) and the
second pair is 3132 or 12 (31 hex is an ASCII 1, 32 is an ASCII 2). The other two pairs are
FFFF and FFFF.
With the label, AB12BA21, it would look as follows after the character
conversion: BB22BB22.
The A characters were converted to B characters and the 1 characters were converted to 2
characters. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs, since they are all FF.
To set Character Conversion:
1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode.
2. Scan the “Configure Character Conversion” barcode.
3. Determine the desired string. Sixteen positions must be determined as in the above example. Next, turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual and find the
equivalent hex digits needed to fulfill the string.
4. Turn to Appendix E, Keypad and scan the barcodes representing the hex characters determined in the previous step.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode to exit Programming Mode.
If less than the expected string of 16 characters are selected,
scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode twice to accept the selections
and exit Programming Mode.

UPC/EAN Global Settings
This section provides configuration settings for UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN 13 and EAN 8
symbologies, and affects all of these unless otherwise marked for each feature description.
UPC/EAN Decoding Level
Decoding Levels are used to configure a barcode symbology decoder to be very aggressive to
very conservative depending on a particular customer’s needs.
• Choosing Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder at the expense of not being able to
read poorly printed or damaged labels.
• Choosing Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggressive behavior allows
decoding of poorly printed and damaged labels at the expense of increasing the likelihood
of decoding errors.
• Choosing Level 3, which is the default setting, allows the majority of product labels to be
decoded.
There are many factors that determine when to change the decoding level for a particular
symbology. These factors include spots, voids, non-uniform bar/space widths, damaged labels,
etc. that may be experienced in some barcode labels. If there are many hard to read or damaged
labels that cannot be decoded using a conservative setting, increase the decoding level to be
more aggressive. If the majority of labels are very good quality labels, or there is a need to
decrease the possibility of a decoder error, lower the decoding level to a more conservative level.

When correlation is enabled, the barcode reader will combine label data from multiple scans

Code 39 Decoding Level
Decoding Levels are used to configure a barcode symbology decoder to be very aggressive to
very conservative depending on a particular customer’s needs.
• Choosing Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder at the expense of not being able to
read poorly printed or damaged labels.
• Choosing Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggressive behavior allows
decoding of poorly printed and damaged labels at the expense of increasing the likelihood
of decoding errors.
• Choosing Level 3, which is the default setting, allows the majority of product labels to be
decoded.
There are many factors that determine when to change the decoding level for a particular
symbology. These factors include spots, voids, non-uniform bar/space widths, damaged labels,
etc. that may be experienced in some barcode labels. If there are many hard to read or damaged
labels that cannot be decoded using a conservative setting, increase the decoding level to be
more aggressive. If the majority of labels are very good quality labels, or there is a need to
decrease the possibility of a decoder error, lower the decoding level to a more conservative level.
This configuration item applies to Code 39 and Code 32.

2 of 5 Decoding Level
This configuration item applies to Interleaved 2 of 5, Datalogic 2 of
5 and Standard 2 of 5.
NOTE
Decoding Levels are used to configure a barcode symbology decoder to be very aggressive to
very conservative depending on a particular customer’s needs.
• Choosing Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder at the expense of not being able to
read poorly printed or damaged labels.
• Choosing Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggressive behavior allows
decoding of poorly printed and damaged labels at the expense of increasing the likelihood
of decoding errors.
• Choosing Level 3, which is the default setting, allows the majority of product labels to be
decoded.
There are many factors that determine when to change the decoding level for a particular
symbology. These factors include spots, voids, non-uniform bar/space widths, damaged labels,
etc. that may be experienced in some barcode labels. If there are many hard to read or damaged
labels that cannot be decoded using a conservative setting, increase the decoding level to be
more aggressive. If the majority of labels are very good quality labels, or there is a need to
decrease the possibility of a decoder error, lower the decoding level to a more conservative level.

Code 11 Decoding Level
Decoding Levels are used to configure a barcode symbology decoder to be very aggressive to
very conservative depending on a particular customer’s needs.
• Choosing Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder at the expense of not being able to
read poorly printed or damaged labels.
• Choosing Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggressive behavior allows
decoding of poorly printed and damaged labels at the expense of increasing the likelihood
of decoding errors.
• Choosing Level 3, which is the default setting, allows the majority of product labels to be
decoded.
There are many factors that determine when to change the decoding level for a particular
symbology. These factors include spots, voids, non-uniform bar/space widths, damaged labels,
etc. that may be experienced in some barcode labels. If there are many hard to read or damaged
labels that cannot be decoded using a conservative setting, increase the decoding level to be
more aggressive. If the majority of labels are very good quality labels, or there is a need to
decrease the possibility of a decoder error, lower the decoding level to a more conservative level.

LED and Beeper Indications
The reader’s beeper sounds and its LED illuminates to indicate various functions or errors on
the reader. An optional “Green Spot” also performs useful functions. The tables below list these
indications. One exception to the behaviors listed in the tables is that the reader’s functions are
programmable, and may or may not be turned on. For example, certain indications such as the
power-up beep can be disabled using programming barcode labels.

Scancode Tables
Control Character Emulation
Control character emulation selects from different scancode tables as listed in this appendix.
Each of the control character sets below are detailed by interface type in the tables. These apply
to Wedge and USB Keyboard platforms.
Control Character 00 . Characters from 00 to 0x1F are sent as control character Ctrl+Keys,
special keys are located from 0x80 to 0xA1.
Control Character 01 . Characters from 00 to 0x1F are sent as control character Ctrl+Capital
Key, special keys are located from 0x80 to 0xA1.
Control Character 02 . Special keys are located from 00 to 0x1F and characters from 0x80 to
0xFE are intended as an extended ASCII table (Microsoft Windows Codepage 1252 — See
page -314.)
Single Press and Release Keys
In the following tables, Ar↓ means Alt right pressed and Ar↑ means Alt right released and so on.
Definitions for other keys are Al (Alt left ), Cr (Control Right ) Cl (Control Left ) Sh (shift).
This method can be used for combining Alt, Control or Shift with other keys.
Example: Consider a Control character set to 00. If AltRight+A is required before sending a
label to the host, it could be done by setting three Prefix keys in this way: 0x99 0x41 0x9A.
