INTRODUCTION12 INTRODUCTION2.1 GRYPHON™ D432/D432E DESCRIPTIONThe Gryphon™ D432/D432E reader is an omni-directional barcode scanner havingthe following characteristics:Plug and Play The Gryphon™ D432/D432E is very ergonomic and user-friendly for intuitive operation and is equipped with plug-and-play enhanced Multistandard Architecture. It can be connectedto a Host PC through a USB, RS232 or Wedge emulation cable.Omni-directionalOperatingTo read a symbol or capture an image, you simply aim thereader and pull the trigger. Since Gryphon™ D432/D432E is apowerful omni-directional reader, the orientation of the symbolis not important.Decoding Thanks to powerful algorithms, Gryphon™ D432/D432E reliablydecodes all major 1D (linear) barcodes, 2D stacked codes (suchas PDF417), 2D matrix symbols (such as DataMatrix), postalcodes (such as POSTNET, PLANET). The data stream —acquired from decoding a symbol — is rapidly sent to the host.The reader is immediately available to read another symbol.Formatting andConcatenatingThe string of a decoded code may be processed according toeither a simple or advanced data formatting and be concatenatedto other codes (up to 4 different codes).Imaging Gryphon™ D432/D432E can also function as a camera bycapturing entire images or image portions of labels, signatures,and other items. Two different control modes are available formanaging the camera exposure and calibration.Autoscanning An autoscan command causes the reader to scan continuouslyand to monitor the central zone of its reading area.Flash Memory Flash technology allows to upgrade the Gryphon™D432/D432E reader as new symbologies are supported or asimproved decoding algorithms become available.
