2.1GRYPHON™ D432/D432E DESCRIPTION

The Gryphon™ D432/D432E reader is an omni-directional barcode scanner having the 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 connected to a Host PC through a USB, RS232 or Wedge emulation cable.

Omni-directional

To read a symbol or capture an image, you simply aim the

Operating

reader and pull the trigger. Since Gryphon™ D432/D432E is a

 

powerful omni-directional reader, the orientation of the symbol

 

is not important.

Decoding

Thanks to powerful algorithms, Gryphon™ D432/D432E reliably

 

decodes all major 1D (linear) barcodes, 2D stacked codes (such

 

as PDF417), 2D matrix symbols (such as DataMatrix), postal

 

codes (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 and

The string of a decoded code may be processed according to

Concatenating

either a simple or advanced data formatting and be concatenated

 

to other codes (up to 4 different codes).

Imaging

Gryphon™ D432/D432E can also function as a camera by

 

capturing entire images or image portions of labels, signatures,

 

and other items. Two different control modes are available for

 

managing the camera exposure and calibration.

Autoscanning

An autoscan command causes the reader to scan continuously

 

and 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 as

 

improved decoding algorithms become available.
