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. The new propri-
etary imaging technology excels at capturing hard-to-read bar codes in
omni-direction orientation.
A typical system using the scan engine consists of a host system such as a
price verifier or kiosk. The host system interfaces with the scan engine
and receives decoded bar code data produced by the scan engine. The il-
lumination LEDs in the scan engine emit visible light when a bar code
passes through the scan volume area and light is reflected off the bar code.
The scan engine collects this reflected light, processes it into a digital sig-
nal and decodes it into data that can be used by the host system. The scan
engine has different operational modes which can be selected via special
programming bar codes.
The OEM scan engine is the same reader as that found in the Gryphon
