GRYPHON™ GFS4500
Configuration Methods
Programming Bar Codes
The reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After scanning
the interface bar code, you can select other options and customize your reader through
use of the instructions and programming bar code labels available in the corresponding
features section for your interface. Customizable settings for many features are found in
Configuration Parameters, starting on page 15
.
Some programming labels, like “Restore Custom Defaults”, require only the scan of the
single label to enact the change. Most, however, require the reader to be placed in Pro -
gramming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code once to enter
Programming Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode, scan a number of
parameter settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT bar code a second time, which will
then accept your changes, exit Programming Mode and return the reader to normal
operation.
Datalogic Aladdin™
Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user-
friendly configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. Aladdin allows you to
program the reader by selecting configuration commands through a user-friendly
graphical interface running on a PC. These commands are sent to the reader over the
selected communication interface, or they can be printed as bar codes to be scanned.
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
NOTE: There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence
described above. Please read the description and setting instructions care -
fully when configuring each programmable feature.
