GRYPHON™ D432/D432E
GRYPHON™ 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
Operating
To read a symbol or capture an image, you simply aim the
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
Concatenating
The string of a decoded code may be processed according
to 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.
Using this Quick Reference Manual, you can start using your Gryphon™
D432/D432E reader. For details about general configuration commands,
refer to the Gryphon™ D432/D432E Reference Manual available on the
website.

DATALOGIC
USING GRYPHON™ D432/D432E
Gryphon™ D432/D432E normally functions by capturing and decoding codes.
The Gryphon™ D432/D432E reader uses an intelligent aiming system. By
pulling the trigger, the aiming system indicates a field of view, which should be
positioned over the code:
Aiming System
When you pull the trigger a red beam illuminates the code. If the aiming system
is centered and the entire symbology is within the aiming system, you will get a
good read. The field of view changes size as you move the reader closer or
farther away from the code.
Linear barcode 2D Matrix symbol
Relative Size and Location of Aiming System Pattern
The field of view indicated by the aiming system will be smaller when the
Gryphon™ D432/D432E is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from
the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read
closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be
read farther from the unit.
Successful reading is signaled by an audible tone plus a good-read green led.

GRYPHON™ D432/D432E
NOTE
The Gryphon™ D432/D432E hand-held reader aiming system is
designed for general reading and decoding of 1D and 2D symbols.
Some variation in reading distance will occur due to narrow bar
width and other factors.
NOTE
If reading codes positioned on reflective surfaces, it may be
necessary to tilt the reader with respect to the barcode and/or
set the Camera Control parameters. For configuring the Camera
Control parameters refer to the Gryphon™ D432/D432E
Reference Manual available on the website.

INDICATORS
LED INDICATORS
The Gryphon™ D432/D432E has one green LED indicator signaling the
following reader functions:
STATUS BEHAVIOR
Power ON The LED lights up for 2 seconds to signal
the power supply is present.
Power ON with USB (without
external power supply)
The LED blinks until the Host accepts the
device.
Normal Function The LED lights up after a good decoding
and will switch off only at the next trigger
press.
BEEPER
The Gryphon™ D432/D432E basic software provides beeper signals for
good/wrong reading and for indicating errors. Its tone, volume and duration can
be directly configured by using the codes given in the Gryphon™ D432/D432E
Reference Manual available on the website.
The application program can also manage the beeper (User Defined Beeper)
when the reader is controlled by a Host PC. It is possible to activate the beeper
by sending a command from the Host to the reader via the current
communication interface.
GOOD READ SPOT
It is possible to enable a green good-read spot, which will be projected in the
field of view when the reading is successful.
SETUP
1. Make connections between Gryphon™ D432/D432E and the Host PC
using the correct interface calbe.
2. Read the correct Interface Selection code.
Your reader is now ready to read codes using the default settings.
